Task scheduler should have its own log
Open the scheduler, and look under the Advanced menu item. There is a log, and you can set it to notify you as well.
Do you get any errors while creating the task?

I don't think you can get it to show in event viewer, unless it shows as an audit failure.
In application log, it will show that the scheduler has started, but I don't think you'll get a failure entry for the application the scheduler is supposed to start.
Scheduled Tasks > Advanced > Show log
Lists specific failure codes & reasons

What kind of task?
Are you running your own script or an executable that generates an exit code? Run it via a batch file and use %errorlevel% to check for a failure and use eventcreate.exe to make your own event log entry.

Use Powershell
We had this issue on an old Windows 2000 server.
I fixed it by getting PowerShell (on a 2008 R2 server) to remotely read the log file for errors and email me the results daily.
Use this command to scan the log file for errors
Select-String "\* error" \\Server\winnt\SchedLgU.txt | |format-table LineNumber, line -AutoSize
or use this command to get the contents of the whole file
Get-Content \\Server\winnt\SchedLgU.txt
You can then add other things in the script to email results, create a marker file or whatever you need.
P.S. I had to share the Winnt directory before I could read the file remotely

FOUR YEARS!!! That's how long it has been since this question was
asked and answered. Do you REALLY think anybody is going to keep
checking it after 4 years? Don't wake the dead, let them rest in peace.
Thank you,

If something comes up as the top result on a google search then it deserves to have an answer!
