A. B. C. D.C.
Based on the information provided, the job scheduled to run the Print.cmd script is failing with an "Access Denied" error message. This suggests that the script is unable to access the necessary resources to complete the task of printing payroll checks. The MOST likely cause of this issue would be related to file permissions.
Option A, which states that the payroll application server is offline, is unlikely to be the cause of the issue since the error message is related to file access rather than server connectivity.
Option B, which states that the checks share does not exist, is also unlikely since the error message specifically references the Print.cmd script rather than the checks share.
Option D, which states that the Print.cmd file content was modified, is possible but less likely since the error message suggests that the script is failing due to a lack of access rather than a problem with the script itself.
Option C, which states that the file permissions on Print.cmd were changed, is the MOST likely cause of the issue. If the file permissions on the Print.cmd script were modified and the user account running the scheduled job no longer has the necessary permissions to access the file, then the job would fail with an "Access Denied" error message.
Therefore, the most likely cause of the issue is that the file permissions on the Print.cmd script were changed, and this is preventing the scheduled job from running successfully.
