RE: Scheule issue

Hi Amnon,

Thanks for using SBS 2003 newsgroup!

For your description, I understand that the scheduled jobs can not be
implemented in XP computer. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let
me know.

Yes, you are right. The Task Scheduler service should be started with local
System aco***. And it's Start type should set as Automatic.

One thing I need to clarify: the method you replace Mstask.exe tool to old
tool Atsvc.exe to workaround the issue, it is not dedicated and there is
side effect on OS.

The problem seems abnormal. Before going further, please kindly help me
collect some information to isolate the issue:

1. Are all scheduled jobs not implemented always or random? Or some
specific scheduled job?

2. Does the issue happen on all your XP computers or some specific?

3. Have you applied the latest updates to the windows XP machine? And also
ensure you have applied hotfix of 841873. If not, please try to apply it to
see if the issue be fixed. You can refer to the following article for
detail information:

MS04-022: A vulnerability in Task Scheduler could allow code execution
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841873

4. If you create a new local user account on the Windows XP computer, does
the issue will persist with the new user account that you had created?

5. Please Send me the SchedLgU.Txt in the C:\windows folder

6. What is error message you got when scheduled jobs could not finished?
Could you tell me accurate error message or help me catch a screen shot
when reproduce the issue.

To make a screen shot:
A. Press Alt + Pr Scrn to capture a screen shot.
B. From Start, go to Run, enter pbrush in the Open box, and then click OK.
C. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screen shot to the canvas.
D. From the File menu, go to Save and save as a JPG file.

7. Could you find related error event in Event Viewer (Start ->
Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer) in the SBS server box and the
problematic computer? If yes, please paste the detail error information in
the newsgroup or mail to me.

8. Please try to perform a clean boot to verify any conflicts of
applications.

A Clean Boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs that
are loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device
drivers or programs that are installed in your computer.

1) Run MSCONFIG.EXE.
2) In the Services tab, click "Hide All Microsoft Services" and click
"Disable All".
3) In the Startup tab, click "Disable All". Click OK. (This will
temporarily prevent third-party programs from running automatically during
start-up.)
4) Restart the computer and check whether the problem still persists.
If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to
one application or service we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool
again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit.

Please add all files to zip file and mail me at v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
