Scheduled Task default misconfiguration

[Iaco]

Hi to all,

I have 5 win2003 virtual server running plesk 8.2 on a 64 bit system.

Two virtual server running ok.

I have buy from the same hoster other 3 virtual server, for this 3 I have the same problem with scheduled task.

All system running the same exactly plesk version and win2003 version. I don't know if my hoster use different version of virtuozzo.

psa v8.2.0_build20070705.17 os_Windows 5.2.3790.0
Microsoft Windows Microsoft Windows 5.2;build-3790;sp2.0;suite272;product3

I have setup the new machine all service runnings ok, but the scheduled task is in error state from default.

The error is in this screenshoot

This is work except if you restart your server .

The IISADMIN SERVICE stop to work.

The reason can be understand from this article

http://blogs.msdn.com/saurabh_singh/archive/2007/08/02/iisadmin-startup-issues.aspx

I have a backup of the folder S-1-5-18 and MachineKeys, restoring this folder the server restart, the statistics work but the server have many problems.

So I have required a reset of the server, reinstall all, with the same scheduled task problem.


The difference between the server that work and the server that not work is that the server that work running scheduled task as NT/Authority SYSTEM;
The server that not work doesn't have anything in the field "run as" in the scheduled task properties option.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Any suggestions or help are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

bug fixed

Hi to all,

I believe, I have found the solutions for this.

After reading this article

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;822904&x=14&y=13

I have understand that for defaults the scheduled service use a local computer account that is no longer available.

I don't now why this happens in a fresh install server.

But I have made the following:

create a folder in the desktop named "sc_bak";
Stop the sc service
Do a copy of all *.job in the scheduled task window to "sc_bak" folder;
Delete all *.job file from scheduled window;
Do a copy of d42* file from the %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 directory (rename this .old);
Delete the d42* file from the above directory;
Copy all *.job to scheduled window;
Replace the "run as" fields from winmachinenum/administrator to "NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM";
Restart sc service;
Run task;

It seems that all working also after restarting. I have apply this to my other server and it seem that it work.

Hope this is correct and could help someone;

bye
