Task Scheduler error

G

Guest

Hi,
I created some tasks in the Task Scheduler but none of them can run. The
error I am getting is:
0x8007007a: The data error passed to a system call is too small

I also tried schtasks on the command line and get this error:
WARNING: The Scheduled task "test" has been created, but may not run because
the
account information could not be set.

Many thanks for any help on this!

[[SYMPTOMS
When you try to schedule a job with user credentials so that the task runs
as if it were started by the user, you may receive the following error
message:
The new task has been created, but may not run because the account
information could not be set. The specific error is:
0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the buffer that stores the account information
for all scheduled tasks is limited; the buffer puts a limit on the number of
jobs that you can schedule with user credentials. There is no limit on the
number of jobs that you can create without user credentials.

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, stop and start the task scheduler service,
wait for 10 to 15 minutes, and then schedule jobs.

There is a scavenger tool in task scheduler that runs 10 minutes after the
service is started. This tool frees the memory that is still being used by
deleted or scheduled jobs. ]]


Task Scheduler returns a "HRESULT: 0x8007007A" error message after you save
many jobs
