Code:
if not exist %windir%\tasks\CleanUpUtility.job schtasks /create /tn "CleanUpUtility" /d mon,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun /sc weekly /st 17:00:00 /tr "cleanmgr /sagerun:1" /ru system > nul
My objective here is to set up 'CleanUpUtility' job run as 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' which do not require password, save it as Scheduler.cmd and run that script from GPO. It worked on most workstations (250+) but 20 workstations wouldn't work.

The error is:

Run As User: Could not be retrieved from the task scheduler database

I know there are something in those 20 workstations that need to be configured to get that script to work. I've been looking, googled endlessly, pulling my hair out of my skull to no avail.

Those 20 workstations are no exception, they are member of Domain (Windows 2003 R2), just like others and are in same OU's amongst other 250+ workstations.

Here is the query output from problematic workstation:

I don't see any difference between those two computers. ALL workstations are running Windows XP SP 3.

Any ideas?
