Custom Outlook Form fix I created some custom Outlook forms to automate some of my sales response tasks and then Outlook started to complain about the item contains active content that cannot be displayed in the preview pane. Today I finally found an answer in the M$ knowlegebase article, Q331788. It said I needed to apply a hotfix and manually edit the registry. I checked the file versions and my files are up to date. As much as I dislike editing the registry this fix cleaned up the problem.

Log on as a batch job

Yesterday I figured out my problem with the task scheduler under Windows XP. Norton Anti-virus's NDETECT.EXE would run once or twice while I was active on the computer. If the computer's password protected screensaver was active, it would not run. It would fail with a: "0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again."  I would re-enter the userid and password and try again. It would work.

It finally clicked for me when I was checking the security log file. It was generating a 534 audit failure for logon type 4. Logon type 4 is a batch logon. A quick check of the GPO showed that my userid was not authorized to logon as a batch job. I was surprised since I was a member of the administrator group.

This should clean up my problems with the Quickbooks weekly backup and Norton Anti-Virus.
