Additional Information
When overwriting the output dataset, a schema lock on the dataset is encountered if the dataset is in an open map. As a workaround, either remove the layer from the map or create an output dataset every time the scheduled tool runs. Use the time stamp variable %t% in the dataset path in the output parameter text box to automatically name the output dataset based on the time the tool ran.Workaround
Remove the buffer feature class (final result) from the map.
