Scheduled tasks don't run on server 2003

[Guest Just Guessing]

I have Windows 2003 SBS. The Windows SBS backup (the one that comes with SBS

2003) won't run until I go into Scheduled Tasks and re-enter the password it

can use to run. I use the administrator account. The backup will run once

or twice, then stop again until I re-enter the password. There are no errors

in the event log. It doesn't even try to run. An error DOES appear in

scheduled tasks that the task couldn't run. I have deleted and re-configured

the backup, but it does the same thing.

 

No other scheduled tasks run, either - the server report, server data

collection. All of these are scheduled tasks. Why doesn't it remember the

account information?

 

Thanks!

Hi

Please try the following

*Delete C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18\d42cc0c3858a58db2db37658219e6400_xxxx

*Delete the scheduled tasks then recreate them

 

 

Regards

Your suggestion enabled the backup task to run for a few days, but it's back

to it's old self again. The task cannot start - and it seems to have

something to do with the account it's using. I re-entered the administrator

password and I'm sure it will run for a few more days.

I did change the administrator password around this time, but I don't see

why I have to keep re-entering iin the scheduled task.

 

Thanks!
