Question

While running scheduled job in Task Scheduler, getting error as follows-Scheduled Task Launch Failure - 2147944309

Answer 1

Probably some issue with the account that the task runs as. Is that a local or Active Directory account?

Check the security event log for logon failures.

Or open a command prompt and try to launch a process as that account.

runas.exe /user:<username> cmd.exe

Answer 2

Hello,

The error code 2147944309 (0x80070005 in hexadecimal) typically signifies an "Access is denied" message in Windows.

Ensure you have the necessary permissions in the task scheduler settings.

Additionally, verify the User Account Control (UAC) settings; you may disable it temporarily to test again.

For more information, refer to the task scheduler log or the event log.
