Hi,
I have read almost all the messages regarding Scheduled Task problems
in a Win2000 environment, but no one helped in solving my problems.

My Scheduled Task simply runs a .vbs file, that closes an exe if it's
running and then restarts it.

The Task should run every 2 hours under a domain administrator account
(but I tried with a local admin account aswell), I have already checked
that all the permissions are correctly set. And they are.

The task works fine for 7 or 8 times but then it stops and the "could
not start" message appears under the schedule tasks window. If a
re-enter the user password, it will run again for 7-8 times, and then
will stop again...

The log file just says:

"StopAndStart.job" (StopAndStart.vbs) 08/05/2006 08:01:00 ** ERROR **
The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed,
therefore, the task did not run.
The specific error is:
0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested
logon type at this computer.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try
again.


Of course, no one changed username or password...

Any valid help?

Thanks.
D.


Make sure the account used has the right to run as a batch
job. Run gpedit.msc / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings /
Security Settings / Local Policy / User Rights / Logon as a batch job.
