Task Scheduler - Logon failure when you try to create a TASK

Good day All,

I posted this fix sometime long back but still i see people getting struck and do all kind of things when they see the below error on Windows 2008 and Window 2012 when you try to create a Schedule Task

Windows 2008:

 Windows 2012:

The reason is because more security feature was added not to allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication .. how is it related to creating a schedule ..i will let you guys check it on Technet site..

So to fix this issue you need to Disable the setting in Local Security Policy as by default its Enabled. Please note changing the setting doesn't need any reboot or outage.

Hope this helps someone.. till next time all have a good day!!!
