Task Scheduler did not start monthly task after daylight saving change

Hello,

we have a problem with the task schedule in Windows Server 2019 and the summer/winter time change. Our monthly scheduled tasks did not start anymore, but the daily or weekly tasks start as scheduled without any problems. A manual start from the task scheduler does not work either.
The code 0x800710E0 is displayed as Last Run Result and the following error message is displayed in the event log

Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler
Date: 01.04.2021 08:00:03
Event ID: 153
Task Category: Missed task start rejected

Computer: xxx.xxx.xxx
Description:
Task Scheduler did not launch task "\xxx" as it missed its schedule. Consider using the configuration option to start the task when available, if schedule is missed.

Has anyone experienced this problem and solved it? I would be very happy for any tips.

Many thanks
Robert

HI @robgro

This seems a bug that has been know and confirmed by Microsoft for over a year, One way would be delete the job and recreate it.

For error code 0x800710E0, please see : https://appuals.com/fix-operator-administrator-refused-request-error-0x800710e0/

Other reference article:
When system time springs forward (DST change in spring), the first scheduled task after the time change does not run.

Hello Karlie,

thank you for the solutions. I have already seen these articles, but they do not solve my problem. I have made or tested all the settings.

General, When running the task, use the following user account
--> different users
General, Run whether the user is logged on or not
--> selected
General, Run with highest privileges
--> activated
Power, Start the task only if the computer is on AV power
--> deactivated
Settings, Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed
--> activated
Settings, Stop the task if it runs longer than
--> activated
Permissions
--> User ist local admin and has full control on needed all files

The problem still exists. However, as soon as I have used another user with the same rights, I can use the intended user again and it works again until the next time change.

Tasks that run daily, weekly or every x minutes work without any problems, with still the same user. It only affects the tasks that run once on day X (1st, 2nd, etc) in the month.

Best Regards
Robert

Hi,

I have tested all the settings/configurations mentioned in the links, because we have had the problem for a few time changes. None of them changed/improved the behaviour. Currently, the monthly tasks are working "error-free" again.

The weird thing about the whole thing is that it only affects the monthly tasks. However, after changing the user, without the task having been started once, it works again with the original user without errors until the next changeover from winter to summer time or summer to winter time. All other tasks (every few minutes, daily, weekly) that are executed with the same user work without errors before and after the time changes.

All in all, I now have to wait for the next time changeover to check whether the phenomenon occurs again then.

Perhaps someone else has a new/different approach to the problem described. I am open to any ideas/tips.

Thank you for your support

Is there any progress with this case now? I've found lots of similar posts on stack overflow and server fault , you may try post there for more ideas as well.

Hi,

at the moment the scheduled tasks are working fine. Unfortunately, I now have to wait again for the change from summer to winter time.

Hi,

checking the "Synchronize across time zones" checkbox solved the same problem for us.

Hi,

yes, we tested it with and without. But the same phenomenon. The problem concerns only the monthly jobs. All others (hourly, daily, etc.) work without errors.

Hello,
Did you try the option "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed" ?
I have the same problem and I just checked this option, so I don't know if this solves the problem yet.
As long as I know this far this happens when you execute the task manually (with "Run"). And the solution I have been applying was to modify the execution hour with something, for exemple 1 minute plus/minus.
