Scheduler cannot run.

[Guest]

I have batch jobs setup in the scheduler on my new 2003 server that run
during the night. I check the scheduler in the mornings and in the status
area of the scheduler there is a message stating that the jobs cannot run. I
can reset the password and the jobs run. I can run the jobs during the day
and everything is just fine until the next moring when I get the same message
cannnot run. What is going on with the scheduler?

I suggest you schedule a test job to run once every five
minutes in order to get a handle on this issue. It should
invoke the following batch file:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% %Username% >> c:\ScheduleTest.txt

Does the job stop at the same time every night? At what time?
What else happens at that time?

Have you checked the Event log? Are you getting an error code?
