Regarding missing article Q311119:

Did not know that the article has been removed. But the article instructs
you to set a password for the user account which you're using to configure
the task.

>> The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied

Q884573 talks about the same error code, so I thought that might be an
useful reference.
