Task Scheduler service won't start after upgrade

[Guest Robert R Kircher, Jr.]

Just upgraded an old win2K server to 2k3 and now the Task Scheduler services

won't start.

 

I receive the followoing error in the logs

The Task Scheduler service failed to start due to the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

 

And if I try to start it manualy I receive a Error 2: The system cannot find

the file specified

 

Any one have any ideas?

Make sure "ImagePath" is type Reg_Expand_Sz

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule

 

 

Here's what I have for value "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

Thanks dave that fixed it. Seems as if the upgrade didn't update that key.
