Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password

Post by ForumAdmin »

Per Microsoft:

How to run tasks without a password:

By default, Windows XP requires a password for a scheduled task. However, you may disable this with the following registry change:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Lsa

limitblankpassworduse
Change the value in the Value Data box from 1 to 0

Then, check the "Run only if logged on" box in the scheduled task.

The task will now run without specifying a scheduled task password.
