Windows Task Scheduler Error 2147944309

At work we had issues with our scheduled job as they failed to start. The error we were getting was not helpful either, so the error value was 2147944309.

Basically the Error Value 2147944309 tells you that the account you are using to run the batch has been locked out.

Below is an explanation of the error:


0n2147944309 = 0x80070775

Facility: 8007 = Win32 (it's a "Win32" status code)

Status: 0x775 = 0n1909


if you go to your command prompt and type in the following command c:\net helpmsg 1909, you will acually get the error message and that is:

The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to
