Sorry, can't tell - you're not saying what happens when you try.

 

We need more than "can't do it" My standard boilerplate; Scheduled
Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details. If the job connects to
another machine you may need to add the user/ group 'logon as batch job'
rights (server side). Control Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security Policy\Local
Policies\User Rights Assignments
"Log on as a batch job"

If the task completes but the job does not then there is a problem in the
job itself. Remember that if it involves network resources to make sure the
user account has permissions to the resources and also use UNC paths as
mapped drives won't natively exist when no one is logged on.

it was disbled in the registry and all values set to 1. I change it to 0 and
rebooted and it works

Another question

What exactly was "disbled"? Which values were set to 1?

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Task Scheduler5.0

Everything was set to 1. I changed it to 0 and rebooted.

How do I create a task to run every 5 secs? I have it running every minute
and its not enough.

What exactly is the task supposed to do?

 

Unlock a service account. It keeps getting locked out.

The best method would be to fix the cause: Find out why the account gets
locked out, then take appropriate steps. The next best method is to schedule
a single task to run at boot time, in the form of this batch file:

@echo off
:again
net user "Name of Account" | find /i "active"
if not %ErrorLevel%==1 net user "Name of Account" /active:yes
ping localhost -n 11 > nul
goto again

You might also be able to use WMI to monitor the event viewer (which gets
notified each time the account gets enabled) but it seems a little over the
top to use this sort of work-around instead of fixing the underlying
problem.
