Task Scheduler gives "Access Denied" (even with Local System account)
Task Scheduler is not starting, keeps giving "Error 5: Access Denied"
Have tried the following:
1. Created separate Local System Account (with full administrator privileges), no luck.
2. Created password with current user account, tried changing Log On with username/password, no luck
3. In Safe Mode as Administrator under Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks->properties->
Security->Owner->changed from ....Administrator.... to .....Administators.... (only 2 options here,
selected one that allows multiple administators)....logged back in as Local System or User, still nothing.
Please help!!

Hi
.........But have you tryed it using the admin account, not admin priviledged accout?
also, if this has worked in the past, then would a system restore be out pof the question?

sorry, just checked, a normal user account should have access to this, so i'd go for the sys restore...

In Computer Management, when you have the list of stuff on the left, and one of those choices is Services, click Services. Then you should have a list of all your services on the right. Double-click Task Scheduler, then click the Log On tab. Tell us what's there, and we can help you furthur.

I have tried using the Admin account in Safe mode, and also Admin privileged account.
(note, Under safe mode, the services cannot be started). I have full admin privileges under my
account called "Owner".
Yes, a normal user account should have access - "with" password (this can be disabled using registry edit, if needed).
Under Log On Tab in Task Scheduler (in Services) I have:
Log on As: Local System Account
Allow service to interact with desktop box is checked.
Hardware Profile 1 is enabled.
Sys restore means backing up 10Gb of data, application re-installs and other headaches
Not an option at this point. BTW, does the Task Scheduler not working affect anything else
besides the tasks scheduled ?? I.e. does it affect the OS from performing at its max if it's not
running. Thanks all!!!
