If I ssh into the box as the user "foo", I cannot create a scheduled task for the user: foo AT host $ schtasks /create /ru foo /rp fooPassword /sc HOURLY /tn foobar /tr 'echo foo' ERROR: The user name or password is incorrect. If on the otherhand I log in as the user "bar" and run exactly the same command, the scheduled task is created bar AT host $ schtasks /create /ru foo /rp fooPassword /sc HOURLY /tn foobar4 /tr 'echo foo' SUCCESS: The scheduled task "foobar4" has successfully been created. If I log into the VM with remote desktop as the user foo, I can create the task. I have tried substituting /ru and /rp with /u and /p but get the error ERROR: User credentials are not allowed on the local machine. I am not sure what is going on and would love some help.
