my scheduled jobs are no longer running. i am getting the
following error. i understand that there is a fix for this
problem. can you tell me how to get the fix.

The attempt to retrieve account information for the
specified task failed; therefore, the task did not run.
Either an error occurred, or no account information
existed for the task.
The specific error is:
0x8004130f: No account information could be found in the
Task Scheduler security database for the task indicated.

The logged-on user must have a non-blank password or scheduler doesn't work.
Give yourself a password and see what happens.

Go figure.
 
Hi Bob,

See if this helps:

Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:

For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security
Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 68)

If you're using XP Pro, you'll need to edit the Local Security Policy.
Here's how:

--Click Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Local Security
Policy.
--In the Local Security Policy console, expand Local Policies and click
Security Options.
--In the right pane, double click the entry that says Accounts: Limit
local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
--By default, this policy is enabled. Click Disabled to disable it.
--Click OK, and close the Local Security Policy console.

If you're using XP Home, the easiest way to make this change is to
download the VBScript file from Kelly's Korner. See line 67 at:
