2k Server Task Scheduler not working.
When I click on the Scheduled Tasks Icon under System Tools, nothing happens.
I tried creating a shorcut to it on my desktop it still does nothing.
I have a few scheduled backups in there i was thinking maybe one of them is corrupted, but unsure as to how i can remove them, since i cannot open the Scheduler itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also my application log is spammed with the following.

If the scheduled tasks do show up when you run the above command. Then you can do the following to delete the tasks:
- "AT \\yourcomputernamehere /delete" and this would delete all your scheduled tasks
You should also check if the task scheduler service is running. To do so, click on start -> run -> type "services.msc" (without quotes) and hit enter. Once the services mmc comes up, look for the "Task Scheduler" service, is it running ok ?

KaliKoder,
Under services it is running
at command prompt type at \\server1 Returns: No entries in the list, although i know there should be 3.
i tried deleting them... told me it would delete all jobs, so i did.
Now here is something wierd i went into control panel and clicked on scheduled tasks, and it works from control panel.
The link in start menu does not work, and for the briefest moment i noticed that window that appears when it is searching for a valid shortcut, because the current shortcut couldnt be found.
Typing at \\server1 /delete didnt remove the jobs either btw.
Although I was able to remove them.
Afterwards I rebooted and the shortcut is still invalid, sounds to me like something is amiss in my registry DOH!
Shortcut points to:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8
If any know how to repair this registry error, please post. thx

It isnt the job shortcut that is bad, it is the scheduler shortcut itself.
Clicking Start --->Programs--->Accessorie
I deleted all my backup jobs that were scheduled.
Going into the office this morning will try what you suggested.

havent had a chance to try your suggestion yet, will have to try it on the weekend... will let ya know what happens.
Can you answer the following:
- What happens when you open a command prompt and enter "at \\yourcomputernamehere" (without the quotes) Do you see any scheduled tasks ?
Thanks
