I have a W2003 server that has a task set up to run every 10 minutes.
This has worked well for a couple of years. But recently (about Dec
21st, 2007) it stopped working.
When I open the scheduled task's properties I am greeted with a
message box with the following contents:

"General page initialization failed.
The specific error is:
0x80090016: Keyset does not exist
An error has occurred attempting to retrieve task account information.
You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change
the task account information."

The W2003 server is a secondary domain controller on our network and I
am a domain admin, so permissions should not be a problem.

If I try to create a new task to take over from the failing one I get
the same window when I try to save it at the end...

What is going on here? Restarting the server does not help.

Google is a wonderful tool. Looking for your error message
got me this link straight away:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246865

Well,
Internet Explorer 5 is not really a problem...
The article says:
"Note that this problem occurs only when you install Internet Explorer
5 on a Windows NT 4.0-based computer with 128-bit encryption, on which
Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 was installed with the Task
Scheduler add-on."

1) This is a Windows 2003 Server and not NT4

2) IE has never been version 5 or below, W2003 comes with IE6

I don't think that this article applies...
