SYMPTOMS

An active messaging script fails when you schedule it through Scheduled Tasks if no user is logged onto the computer; however, the same script will work if someone is logged onto the computer. More generally, all of the Internet Information Server administrative scripts fail when no one is logged onto the computer. The following error message occurs:

CAUSE

Because no user is logged onto the computer, it is impossible to open a security profile.

WORKAROUND

Lock the workstation instead of logging off the user.
