Hi Folks!



I ran this command on my XP SP3 machine and it stated that the task was
created successfully, however, when I go on "Scheduled tasks" and click
Properties of my calculator task it pops an error stating "Invalid data - An
error ocurred attempting to retrieve account information" and then the
Account field is grayed out and empty.




schtasks /create /ru SYSTEM /sc once /tr calc.exe /tn Calculator /sd

Have any of you experienced this?



Cheers!

I get that error if the account the task is scheduled for uses a blank
password.
 
yep but the system account doesn't have password.. besides the exact same
command works on xp sp2 or Vista.
