SCHEDULED TASK FUNCTION WON'T RUN SINCE SYSTEM RESTORE
Hi,
In scheduled task there is message "scheduled task did not run because of incorrect password or user".
User never changed.
I deleted all tasks and reentered them with so called "wizard".
I checked my computer properties etc.
Nothing resolved.
Manual functions for above work.
Has anybody had same problem and how did you correct it?
Roger

1.- Set up a password for your account (create a password hint)
2.- Take note of the User name and Domain (you may need this later).
3.- Go to your Scheduled Tasks and make sure the "Run as" has Domain\User name
4.- Set the password (typed in twice). Repeat for each task.
Remember the task will only run if the computer is on and the person that set it up (see step 3) is logged on.

You can also run Scheduled Tasks without a User Account password by Editing the Registry;
Needs SP1 installed.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
limitblankpassworduse DWORD 0
or use Kelly's Korner vbs scripit;

Gary,
Thanks for the input. I needed this a few weeks ago. I now use Auto-logon from TweakUI, so my Task Sceduler has username and password. Your reg change would have been better and simpler.
