Asked By CoolCat5432 On

Hey everyone! I could really use some help here. I've got a task set up on my Windows 2019 server that's supposed to run an application every 5 minutes. Everything was working fine, but now I'm getting an error: "The operator or administrator has refused the request." The task was created using an administrator account, and I've double-checked the application and user permissions to ensure they're all set correctly, but the error keeps popping up! Does anyone have suggestions on what I could check next?

Also, does the application run fine when you execute it manually? It could be a specific issue with the scheduled task itself.

Have you checked if the password for the account that created the task has expired? That might prevent it from authenticating properly.

If this is a domain PC, running a gpresult might help. There might be a GPO change that's affecting the task.

You might want to consider recreating the task from scratch. Sometimes, it can resolve weird issues like this.
