<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
The service works if I manually do a copy, but the schedule will not run. &nbsp;I get the following error.<br />
<br />
Task Scheduler <br />
<br />
General page initialization failed.<br />
The specific error is:<br />
0x8007000d: The data is invalid.<br />
An error has occurred attempting to retrieve account information. &nbsp;You may continue editing the task object, but will be unable to change account information.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have tried running it with the domain Administrator account as well as my own account. &nbsp;I think its a permissions issue with the domain. &nbsp;This service did work fine on these machines before they were promoted to DCs. &nbsp;Thanks for you help.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
