Scheduled task passwords do not change when the domain password ch
Ok heres the scenario. One of my users has a scheduled task that open up
spreadsheets every morning. This works fine apart from then his domain password needs changing (every 30 days). Once he has changed the domain password he needs to edit the properties of the scheduled task and change the password manually. I have also re-created this problem on another pc running a different scheduled task Windows XP sp1 AD Domain (2003) Any one have any ideas? Cheers |

I await an answer with you, but I would guess this is "by design". You changed the password.. Why should Windows (why WOULD Windows) go through all the places you have typed that password in the past and change it for you? -- - Shenan - -- The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately responsible for your actions/problems/solutions.

Scheduled task passwords do not change when the domain passwor
I do understand the differences between local logons and Domain logons,
however these jobs are created using the domain accounts and not a local one. I don't ever recall having this problem with 2000 - possibly did just don't recall it being a problem? "Raymond J.

It appears that the scheduled task is being set up to run under the user's domain credentials. The question that I would ask is why is a scheduled task being used to open up spreadsheets? This makes little sense unless it is being done when the user is logging on. If this is the case, perhaps a logon script would be a better way to do this? Or just put whatever the task does into the user's Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder? There are ways to make it only execute once per day, if that is what is desired. |

Scheduled task passwords do not change when the domain password ch
By default, Windows XP requires a password for a scheduled task. However,
you may disable this with the following registry change: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Lsa limitblankpassworduse Change the value in the Value Data box from 1 to 0 Then, check the "Run only if logged on" box in the scheduled task. The task will now continue to run when the user periodically changes their domain password without the need to change the scheduled task password. Let us know if that gets you what you need.
