Task Scheduler not running when system is locked

dafyre

I see the task is set to run as "Charles".... .But it was created by DEFIANT\Charles...

Is DEFIANT the name of the computer, or an AD Domain?

Lakshmana

@dafyre the above one is internet image that \domain\User is the concept

When checking the Run with Higher Privileges and checked on Run Whether user is logged on or not also.But at that time only above error comes here

Ever consider running the task using the Administrator account?

Tried from my AD Admin Login there is not local admin present in the machine.Where the task needs to be run as AD user if possible

What happens if you try to edit the job you are working on. Does it let you make any changes to it?

Lakshmana

@dafyre May i know what changes you are speaking about ?

dafyre

Your error message is telling you that the user is unknown. Make a change to the job any thing... and then try to hit OK to save it again.

It should pop up and ask you for the username & password for the user the job needs to run as.

If you haven't already, try using a domain admin account instead.

using a domain admin account instead.

For that domain admin also throws the same error

Use NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM with or without Run with highest privileges.
Also what do you have configured on the Trigger tab?

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

NT AUTHORITY \SYSTEM is not working and Trigger is set for Daily at 05:50 PM
When clicking on Run with highest privieges i am getting the same error which was mentioned already
