Task Scheduler, scheduling defrag of C drive

J

joel

After "checking" the "Advanced Properties" option
& "Finish" I got a Task Scheduler window that said: "THe
new task has been created, but may not reun because the
account information could not be set. THe specific error
is: 0X8007007a: THe data area passed to a system call is
too small.

When trying to run from the Task Scheduler I got "could
not Start" in the status column.

Does any one know how to correct this problem?
Thanks,
Joel

This is due to a requirement that the account the task is to run under must
have a password. If you want to run a scheduled task under the "fred"
account then that account must have a password and you must supply when the
task is created. Presumably te data area passed to the system call is too
small because the password is missing.
