HTTP 500 Error when Scheduling Task

[Wilhelm W]

Good day,

I have installed SIM5 SP5 with the MSDE SQL database running. Whenever I try and schedule a task (periodically, any task) the HTTP 500 error is displayed. I am not able to save/scheule the task. Has anyone seen this before?

Also, seeing as I am pressed for time, would it be possible to schedule these task from the command line, while I wait for a fix? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hmm ..

I have tried all the proposed solutions described in the ITRC without any luck. Seems I'm not the only that is having these problems without a proper solution.

Thanks for the info on the CLI, I'll try and schedule it that way, btw, this happens whenever I want to use the scheduler.

Looks like we have to live with it atm until the SIM team look into it.

Btw,if you feel the response was of help,

Solved the problem:

Reinstalled SIM but using SQL 2005 with SP 1. This sorted out all the other issues as well.
