Error: 0x800700005 access denied when creating a new task

[Rich]

When logged into the domain with a windows xp workstation I am able to create
a scheduled task but I get the following error when I click Finish in the
wizard:

The new task has been created, but may not run because the account
information could not be set. The specific error is: 0x800700005: Access
Denied.

This is with any account I use on the domain. When I log in using a local
administrator account I can create a task with no errors. Any ideas on how to
troubleshoot further?

It could be a file permissions issue. Mount the Tasks folder as a
network drive and check the permissions. From the command prompt:

Net Use T: \\%computername%\C$\Windows\Tasks /Persistent:No

Open Explorer, right-click Tasks (T:), Properties. Check the Security
tab. Grant Administrators and System [x] Full Control, if they do not
already have it, and click [Apply]. Then click [Advanced], check [x]
Replace permission entries on all child objects, and click [Ok].
Restart the "Task Scheduler" service and give it another try.

Interesting you should suggest this approach. The user, kdcp\student has
been given full rights to the directory and files in it to run the logon
task. Scheduling the task as kdcp\administrator implies that the task should
run "as if" administrator was logged on no matter who is logging on. That is
a problem to me.

When I get to the client office later today, I will try your suggestion.
Open to others.
