Critical update stopped Task Scheduler Service
The Microsoft critcial update released yesterday (810833), messed up the Task Scheduler Service. When I try and start this service, I get, Error 1717: The interface is unknown. The MS page for this patch is This service worked fine until this morning.

This service worked fine until this morning. I tried uninstalling the hotfix but that didn't fix anything. Anyone else have this problem?

Ran it... it said I had to be administrator running a console window. Sad thing was, I was logged in as administrator and I was running it from a console window. I am getting real close to getting a third party crontab program.
Edit: Got SFC to work, I was trying to run it from a TS session, W2k didn't like that. This didn't fix the problem, however.

Nope, I haven't run any regclean type apps. Maybe an uninstall of a program did the reg corruption. Haven't looked at the .tlb files yet. I think I will install a crontab program tonight, then I can disect this problem at my leisure. It does look like the update didn't do the corruption, or other people would of chimed in. Something else did the corruption.
Thanks for all your help!

Joel32137's fix did it for the task scheduler unknown interface error 1717 problem. I just turned on the Event Log service, and waa-laa(is that how you spell it?)
