Up until recently, creating a scheduled task (run as Administrator) worked fine and
all existing scheduled tasks created before then still run fine.
I have only recently begun to experience problems with Scheduled Tasks on Windows
Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition, Service Pack 2.
When creating a scheduled task, I receive the following error when saving:
An Error has occurred while attempting to set task account information.
The specific error is: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to perform the requested operation.
The task then refuses to run either at the scheduled time or when run manually.
I am setting "Run As" to Administrator, with correct password.
BUT
If I switch on the "Run only if logged on" option, the task saves fine and runs fine.
This error never used to occur and indeed I have several tasks set up prior to the
first occurence of this problem that continue to run fine (although I don't dare
to delete or edit them).
I am not sure whether this coincides with a Windows update as I can't pinpoint when
exactly it stopped working.
Any help would be very much appreciated as hours of Googling has revealed nothing
of use.
