Guest Wilson Cheung Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Hello all, I recently configuring a task and it executes every Monday to Friday, from 9am - 5 pm, and it runs in every 1 minute. However, I found that the task cannot be started every next day. The error said "Could not be start". How can I resume the task again is re-input my password again in Scheduled Task daily. Then the task may executes again in every 1 minute and stop @ 5pm. But of course, I need to re-input again in the next day to resume again. Does anyone know why? How can I solve this problem to prevent "re-input" password daily in the morning? Please help me, with many thanks!

I get this occassionally on my XP machine when I run out of virtual memory and the Crypto store file seems to get partially corrupted - the only solution is to edit every task and re-enter the password. I've taken to backing up the Crypto file daily, at least now if it happens I can just copy it over the flawed one and all my tasks work again. It was happening daily when I had a process kicking off a large ZIP using the pkzip command line version, since I replaced this with a VB6 app using the zlib library I've had it recur only once (and that was this Saturday when I had a couple of large month end processes kick off and eat up all the virtual memory, I've changed the schedules to try to ensure this doesn't happen again). On my XP PC here the location for the file is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18\ I'm not sure if it's the same place on 2000/2003, but it's worth looking.

Guest Daniel Crichton Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Scheduled Task (Could not be start) No, make a copy of the file in the Crypto folder and when you get problems just copy that backup over the existing one - I did mention that in my reply. However, long term you will want to find out what is causing the problem - from my own experiences I had programs run that would cause my PC to run out of virtual memory causing this file to become corrupted. You will want to try to find out what is causing your issue and either workaround it or report it to MS as a bug. Dan Wilson wrote on Thu, 2 Aug 2007 06:16:05 -0700: > Thanks Daniel.
