Scheduled Tasks in Windows Server 2003 (SP1) could not start

[Nigel]

Hi, I have a set of scheduled tasks (daily) which have been running fine for
a few years but suddenly having problem running since last week.

The error message is:

The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed,
therefore, the task did not run. The specific error is: 0x80070569: Logon
failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this
computer. Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try
again.

The scheduled tasks are run using the Administrator (Local) account and
password. We tried re-entering the Administrator password for the individual
tasks and manually kick off the task, which works. But on the next day, the
same problem will happen again.

We have also tried:

1) Delete the scheduled tasks and create them again. Doesn't work.
2) Ensure "Logon as batch job" has Administrator added to it. Doesn't work.
3) Restart the service. Doesn't work.
4) Reboot the server. Doesn't work.
5) Change the Administrator password. Doesn't work.

As far as I know, we did not apply any updates for the past 2 weeks.

Anyone have any ideas to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Nigel

Hello nigel,

Check the logfile in the scheduled tasks under Advanced, View log for additional
errors.

Make sure that the account used for the scheduled task has a non-blank
password. You should also log on under this account to ensure that it is
active and working.

Hi Meinolf,

Thanks for the reply. The only error in the logfile (under Advanced) is what
I've posted before, as replicated below:

"AUinterfaceResource.job" (AUinterfaceResource.exe) 1/17/2009 7:10:00 PM **
ERROR **
The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed,
therefore, the task did not run.
The specific error is:
0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon
type at this computer.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.

Regards,
Nigel

Hi Pegasus,

Thanks for the reply. The password is non blank and the account/password is
working, as manually kicking off the scheduled tasks using the
account/password pose no problem.

I know I'm clutching at straws but I would create a new account with
suitable privileges and use it for the scheduled backup job.

Thanks all. Managed to solve the problem. Apparently someone added a domain
group policy which overwritten the local one. After removing that, all works
well again.

In case anyone else runs into this, the fix is to go into group policy -
windows settings - security settings - local policy - user rights assignment
- log on as batch job. Change that setting to add the user group or user that
you are running the scheduled task under.
