Just upgraded an old win2K server to 2k3 and now the Task Scheduler services
won't start.

I receive the followoing error in the logs
The Task Scheduler service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

And if I try to start it manualy I receive a Error 2: The system cannot find
the file specified

Any one have any ideas?

Re: Task Scheduler service won't start after upgrade

Make sure "ImagePath" is type Reg_Expand_Sz

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule


Here's what I have for value "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

Re: Task Scheduler service won't start after upgrade

Thanks dave that fixed it. Seems as if the upgrade didn't update that key.
