Scheduled Task fails at restart

[Tera]

I am running Windows XP professional sp1.
- I am trying to run a script that synchs time.
- The script is on our server. I type in the user name
that I would like for the script to run as. I DO type in
the password (twice!)
- I would like the script to run at computer startup
- I log on and log off using the run as user
- I can run the script (I am a domain administrator)
before restarting
- As soon as I restart I get a Could Not Start error
message
- When I open the scheduled task I get the following error
message:

General Page Initialization Failed
0x8007000d: Data is invalid

I have already checked that services are enabled!

Any suggestions??! I have already tried most of
the "fixes" but it seems most are situations where people
are trying to run scripts withOUT a password. The password
DOES work since I can log on using the run as user!

I do not address your scheduled task failure.

If you want to time sync, you should consider that this=20
is already happening if you are in an AD domain that is=20
healthy. If in an AD domain and time is not being kept=20
in sync there is an issue with your PDC emulator or=20
network connectivity to it that should get fixed.

If you are not in a domain, you can set the NTP timeserver=20
with the=20
net time /setsntp=20
command.
Use=20
net help time
for info.
You can force a timesyn using=20
w32tm /once
at a cmd prompt.
It gives extensive info on the syn process when run this way.
Manual invocation of w32tm should not be needed.
Use=20
w23tm /?
for info.=20

--=20
Roger=20

Hi Roger! Thanks for the info! We are not yet in an AD
domain.
