servers.

Could not start the task scheduler service on local
computer.

Rob,

The few times I have personally seen this it was because the SharedSection portion of the data for the registry value
Windows in the following registry key was not set correctly.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems

The following article will give you more information about this registry value.
