Re: command prompt: 'tasklist' logon failure

Scott,

See the solution posted here by "SA_labs" (scroll to the bottom)
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t57986.html

For more clarity, the proposed solution is:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools.
3. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Local Security Policy.
4. In the left pane, expand Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
5. In the right pane, double-click Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts.
6. In the Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts dialog box, click Classic - local users authenticate as themselves, and then click OK.
7. On the File menu in the Local Security Settings window, click Exit.
8. Restart the computer.

Hello-

I'm experiencing a strange problem in a WinXP Pro command prompt.

Running:
C:\>tasklist

Produces the following reply:

ERROR: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

I have a script output from 4/07 where it ran fine. Can't think of
any system changes since then that would cause this...

And, event viewer logs 2 logon/logoff and 2 privilege use events after
running the command, but both are success, and not denied.

I issued a bunch of other commands and all ran fine,

Any ideals?

Thanks,
Scott
