An error has occurred for task 'name'. Error message: The following error was reported: 2147750704. When creating a scheduled task in Windows 2012 or above.

When you create a scheduled task in Windows you notice that the Send an e-mail and Display a message tasks are marked as "deprecated".


You can no longer create these task types and the following error is shown

"An error has occurred for task 'name'. Error message: The following error was reported: 2147750704".


I'm really not sure why Microsoft didn't remove the UI options, it seems strange to have gutted the functionality but leave the options in the user interface.

If you want to send an email you can schedule to Start a program and use the Send-MailMessage PowerShell cmdlet.
