This is a bug with 2012R2 and gMSA’s, using imported or existing tasks that have been changed to use the gMSA. The SID of the MS account is never created for the task upon re-registration. You’ll need to create the SID key. Note: Resolution is unsupported (or upgrade your OS… Continue reading
This was quite annoying, as there are many articles written about this, but only one solved it for myself. The inboundproxy@contoso.com email address is used by Exchange 2013 as part of the managed availability function. Health mailboxes are set up that ping the Exchange environment for health. I found that… Continue reading
Yet if you manually run it, no problems. Issue was with Task Scheduler and its Priority field. This is within the XML of the task itself. If you were to export the task as an XML, browser to the <Priority> section. You’ll see a number there. By default, it’s 7… Continue reading

Reason being- the error points to (but does not explain) the installation media path/disk not being… Continue reading
