I'm having a similar problem. I can create a new Task Scheduler task
without any problems using a local account, but when I configure it to
run under a domain account, I get the error message about "The
specified account name is not valid." This account is valid, is in
the local administrators group, and isn't disabled or locked out. I
don't get it.
If I create a new task and have it run under the domain account, I get
the same problem.
%@$^ Vista piece of junk. I can't believe Microsoft spent 5 years on
this OS.
