We have a very similar situation which is driving us mad.
Windows 2000 Server SP4
Domain Controller
We create a scheduled task to daily run a batch file which simply
calls NTBackup to backup to a file on the same machine.
The batch file works every time.
The scheduled task runs once and only once. Thereafter the task status
is "Could not start"
If we delete the scheduled task and create a new one, as before it
runs once.
If we re-enter the Run AS administrator password for the task, it will
run again but only once.
We are running the scheduled task as Administrator + plus we tried
creating a special backup operator account and received the same
problems
I have now witnessed this on two 2000 Domain Controllers - Ours and a
client of ours.
We get no event errors.
My initial thoughts are that the scheduled task is forgetting the
password for the run as account.
Any ideas
Kind regards
