i have a strange problem with the task scheduler under Windows Server 2016.
I create a task which triggered daily at 3am. This tasks only start a simple batch file which delete some files on a local drive. So nothing special.
The result by running this task is 0xC0000142. No matter if i start this task manually or it starts by windows at 3am.
But if i restart the whole server and start the task manually it works. The result is 0x0. I try to incease the "Windows SharedSection" via registry and restart, but nothing happens. The next morning i get the 0xC0000142 result.
My task in XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Task version="1.4" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task">
<RegistrationInfo>

My batch:
@ECHO OFF
del /Q /S C:\temp\*.*
This problem affect only one server. All other servers with the same task doesn't have this problem.
/EDIT
Okay i try something. I change RUN WHETHER USER IS LOGGED ON OR NOT to RUN ONLY WHEN USER IS LOGGED on. This works. I get no more error messages on running this task at 3am, but it isn't the solution. Why the RUN WHETHER USER IS LOGGED ON OR NOT mode doesn't work? I try the Administrator and the SYSTEM user.
