Hello!
After about July 14, 2004, my Scheduled Tasks have failed to run. There is a
hotfix (KB 812960) that I downloaded and installed that did not fix the
problem, even though I have the exact symptoms described in the article. The
scheduled tasks do not run, nor can I run them manually by using
right-click, Run. I have the log below of what happens when trying to start
a Scheduled Task.
"Task Scheduler Service"

"6FridayMyDocsDifferentialBackup.job" (ntbackup.exe) 8/14/2004 11:23:44 AM
** ERROR **
Unable to start task.
The specific error is:
0x80070006: The handle is invalid.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.
"cescript.job" (cescript.txt) 8/14/2004 11:24:09 AM ** ERROR **
The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed,
therefore, the task did not run.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.

[ ***** Most recent entry is above this line ***** ]
The first attempt to start a task by right-click, Run, or by letting it
reach the scheduled time, results in the "0x80070006: The handle is invalid"
error. The second attempt to start it gives the "The attempt to log on to
the account associated with the task failed" error and then "Could not
start" shows up in the Scheduled Tasks window status column.
If I copy the task properties, i.e., the Run command line from the task's
properties page, and paste it into Start, Run, or into a batch file, then
the task runs just fine.
The account used is an local admin account, all service packs are installed
(not sp2 yet), and the Task Scheduler service is running.
Any ideas why tasks still fail to run or which update from mid-July that I
can remove to get them to run?
Thank you for the help!
