At a guess, a GPO that is designed to install a MSI that is not accessible to the computer or the user account.

No GPO that is not used on any other computer. Â Only this computer has the problem.
Are you thinking the user account listed in the event needs to be in the local administrator group?
Update it is happing on my other Windows 2019 Server now also.

I tried these commands
msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver
No luck still getting the error
It happens once a day at around the same time 12:52 or 12:53 AM

Arne,
Looks like some of the links I found  adding the spfarm account to the local administrators group.
You can not leave that account in the local administrators group SharePoint checks for that.
But the script in the article you provided adds the farm account to the group then restarts sptimerv4 service then removes the farm account from the group. Â When I ran the job-admin-product-version sptimmerjob it did not throw any 1015 event they were 1035 which is informational. Â Looks good. Â I did this on NODE 1 going to run the same on NODE 2 then tonights at 12:53 Â will see what happens.
Will post results
Thank you
Tom

On one server it seems to cleared up still having same on server 2
Update
I ran this on my server
This came from https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/22908.sharepoint-2010-warning-1015-failed-to-connect-to-server-error-0x80070005.aspx
On Node 1 I ran this and now it cleared the events. Â But on Node 2 I still get the events at the same time 12:51:41 AM
But now it is followed by an event 1035 which is informational saying that it installed the product.
any ideas?
I ran this on my server
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $farmAccountSAN = $farmAccountSplitted[1]
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $userPath = "WinNT://" + $farmAccountDomain + "/" + $farmAccountSAN + ",user"
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $groupPath = "WinNT://" + $env:COMPUTERNAME + "/" + $adminsGroup + ",group"
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $group = [ADSI]$groupPath
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $group.Add( $userPath )
PS C:\Users\spadmin> Restart-Service SPTimerV4
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $user = [ADSI]$userPath
PS C:\Users\spadmin> $group.Remove( $user.Path )
PS C:\Users\spadmin> Get-SPTimerJob job-admin-product-version | Start-SPTimerJob

Arne,
On my Node 2 I created a script and set it up to run just before the SharePoint scheduled Job that causes the error.
Last night was the first time for the script and I was error free of 1015.
Thanks for your help.

Glad that's working for you.
You mention above that SharePoint does not allow the farm account to be a local admin. It's will allow it, but it will also show it as an error message in Central Admin.
Note, Microsoft strongly recommends against doing this. But in order to provision some services the farm account needs to be a local admin on all SP servers while the service is being provisioned. Â
Have a good one...
