I've been having problems getting Task Scheduler to run my McAfee
VirusScan updates and weekly scans automatically.
See <[email protected]>
To test Task Scheduler, I created a task to launch Xnews.exe. I used
the Scheduled Task Wizard, and browsed to c:\xnews\xnews.exe. My user
name (domain and account is xpmachine\default) was entered
automatically. I left the password box blank because I don't have a
password. But, the Wizard states, "If a password is not entered, the
scheduled task might not run". What if I don't have a password? Here's
the log generated when the Xnews task tried to run:
"Xnews.job" (Xnews.exe) 10/23/2004 8:37:00 AM ** ERROR **
The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task
failed, therefore, the task did not run.
The specific error is:
0x8007052f: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible
reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a
policy restriction has been enforced.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try
again.
