Task Scheduler Error I am struggling with

G

Guest

The message reads:
Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer
Error 2147500037: Unspecified Error
Ok Button

I get this error when trying to start the service on the particular Server.
Any ideas?

You might try;
sc query "Schedule"

to see what win32 exit code is generated. You can get sc.exe (service
controller tool) here.

Is it set to logon with the local system account?

Is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service started? (RpcSs)

The service is set to logon with the local system account and RPC is started

This error is the strangest I've ever seen.

Thanks again,

If any scheduled tasks exist you might try deleting them to see if it
starts. You didn't mention when this started and what other events are found
in the system log.

When you view the logged events in Event Viewer in the upper right corner,
third button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of
a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different system events so we can see all of
the event detail.

Afraid those don't help as they're unrelated to the problem. I'm out of
ideas. I don't know what role your server plays but it may require a rebuild
to fix this issue or at least an in-place upgrade.

network.
