Windows Task scheduler not working on Windows Server 2003 SP1

hi

all tasks on scheduled tasks list working fine until 1 fine day when none of tasks getting executed. i'm using windows server 2003 sp1. most of tasks execute vb script files or batch files. in tasks log(schedlgu.txt) i'm finding particular message after every unsuccessful task:

result: task completed exit code of (c0000142). (when task vb script file)

or

result: task completed exit code of (80). (when task batch file)

i have tried following - of failed resolve issue:

* deleting , creating new task. 

* checking , unchecking "run if logged on".

* running task using command prompt (schtasks.exe /run /tn <taskname>)

* killing hanging instances of wscript.exe(for vb script) or command prompts(for batch files) before running task

please help!

make sure task scheduler service set start system account. might try deleting existing scheduled tasks, restart machine, recreate. there may corruption associated 1 or more tasks.

also check event viewer errors.
