Had a similar problem here. The server in question (NT4 SP6a) is also a BDC for a domain that will be "going away" sometime in early 2003. I re-applied SP6a and also reinstalled IE 5.5. Neither of these fixed the problem. New tasks could not be scheduled, either from GUI or using the cmd line Atsvc.
I gave up (see "going away" above) and downloaded a freeware utility: http://www.splinterware.com/products/wincron.htm It works now. -----Original Message----- From: Salvatore Palmisano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 10:42 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Odd Scheduled Tasks Issue Update on this. No new task will run at all. I created a file named test.bat that did a net send to the machine all of this is running on. I tried it from c:\ and from d:\ (same hdd, different partition), tried it with differing permissions, tried it with the system account and with an administrator account. Nothing worked. Using the backup wizard from windows backup works fine, though. It runs as expected without issue. I'm stumped on this one. Any ideas? .salvatore http://sienar.org/ http://palmisanonet.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Salvatore Palmisano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 11:03 AM To: 'NT 2000 Discussions' Subject: RE: Odd Scheduled Tasks Issue >Sounds permissions related.

When calling the script directly from the command line, it runs and finishes as expected, without error. Is this what you mean?
