Hello,
I'm getting this error.
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron:
PID 2784: (CRON) error (can't switch user context).
I checked and found something that said to add execute permsisions to
the cygwin1.dll and give permissions to /etc/cron.d. This has not worked
if anybody has any ideas I would apprcieate it. I have no idea where to
put the /AUXSOURCE= flag and also don't know what value it is looking for.
This would be helpful:

Or at least who the 'cron' service is running as. My guess is that when you
installed cron, you chose to run it as yourself or some other unprivileged
(including 'Administrator') user. Windows services cannot switch user
contexts unless they use a special privileged account (SYSTEM on XP or older
systems). That's why you get the message. The solution? Reinstall it and
let it run under a privileged account.
