User Action: Re-register the task ensuring the credentials are valid. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943712.Incidentally, the task is not visible in Task Scheduler and could not be run. As a result, the RMAD(FE) backup process is unable to start.More than likely, this would be a Task Scheduler issue rather than RMAD(FE). -

Resolution
The “Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication” policy should be Disabled.
