How I could resolve it ?
On the server:
1. net stop sptimerv3
2. Interactively log-on as the Service Account.
3. Launched Internet Explorer, menu Tools \ Internet Options \ Connections \ LAN Settings : clear all check-boxes, including the “Automatically detect settings”
4. Logoff
5. Logon on as Admin
6. Net start sptimerv3
7. Start the Content Deployment job again
