hi,
from yesterday i'm trying to make scheduled task for daily backup (batch
script) but always getting this:
The new task could not be created.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.

google is not my friend for this so far ;(

has anyone some experience with this error?

thanks in advance

In the schedule task please check the checkbox Run with the highest
privileges and test one more time

With kind regards

hi Krystian,
i'm trying to run this as domain admin account on SBS 2003 (sorry for not
mention it in first post)

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for your post and Krystian's input.

In addition, please check if the Tasks folder(C:\WINDOWS\Tasks) has correct permissions on it by the steps below:

Start - Run - CMD - C:/windows - CACLS TASKS and you will get output, something like below:

C:\WINDOWS\Tasks BUILTIN\AdministratorsOI)(CI)(IO)F
BUILTIN\Administrators: F

which means you have Full access, and this is default permission. If you have R on it, the R which means have only Read only access, then you need to give permissions to tasks folder by following this
step:

Start - Run - CMD - C:/windows - CACLS TASKS /E /G builtin\administrators:F

The steps above grant Administrators group full control permission to the C:\WINDOWS\Tasks folder.

Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
