Premature end of scheduled tasks

[James]

We are running scheduled tasks on 2 machines,
both 'identical'on XP Pro. On 1 machine the task is always
successful. On the other machine the task exits
immediately with a last result code of 0x80 - Any ideas?

BTW, this only happens when there is not a user logged on
to the machine. If there is a user logged on, the scripts
run fine on both machines.

Many thanks.
