So our lovely home office decided to disable Windows Scheduled Tasks. I guess it's easier to get rid of the problem instead of fixing it. Only problem with that is that I have a few scripts that backup very important files. They said they "re-enabled" it but it's still not working. When I try to add a task, I get an error ("Access Denied 0x80070005") which sounds like this problem but I have that patch installed already. |

judging from the other stories of your work, I'd say: group polices are a good guess. |

hehehe....yeah. I am guessing that as well. However, our IT department has came back with the typical story "We haven't changed anything" |

I am having the same issue, I do not believe it's related to group policy because I have reconfigured a PC and it currently has up-to-date windows updates, it is receiving the same group policy as computers that are not working. I thought it may have been a Windows Update that caused this issue, but to this point I am unable to pinpoint it. |

This is probably a daft question, but what security software are you using (firewall, antivirus)? |

White Hawk - I actually think that C:\ and I may have the same issue on our hands. The timing of the whole thing is what lead me to believe that it may have been a Windows Update. |

eipee73 : doesn't look like our situations are the same. I just did what you suggested on a test box here and I still can't schedule a task. |

C:\ : Do you have administrator privileges on your computer? If not I think you'll need to have someone with admin rights to log into the machine and run this. I'm about to test it on another PC and I'll let you know the results. If they still have it disabled in GP then you may be in trouble...did you try this workaround: |

I just ran the subacl and those commands on another PC that had the issue and it is working properly again. This seems to be resolving my issues, like I said though, I'm logging in as an administrator to do this. |

I suppose I should have read your first post a little bit better! I'm not really sure what to tell you if that program and script from that website don't work... I'm kind of left drawing a blank, I presume that you do reboot your computer on a nightly basis so it would have up to date group policy and it wouldn't still have the old one in there that prevented your use of Scheduled Tasks? |

Ah, well... it was a shot in the dark anyway. |

It seems that our issue may have been the result of a GPO to disable autorun during the conficker attacks. The GPO has since been disabled and the fix that was provided is working for us, you may want to check with your home office to see if there is still a group policy to prohibit autorun in effect. |

I hope this helps you out. By chance do you think you could send me a copy of that registry file so I can take a look at it? Hopefully I can draw a conclusion from that and maybe even narrow down my fix. |

I'll send it to you shortly. However, changing it back did not fix my problem and the HO claims they did nothing including a GP on AutoPlay. I doubt it though |
