Dear all,

I have created a CmdExec job step that call cscript.exe to run a WSF
script. The task is owned by a user not in the SysAdmin group. When I
start the job, it fails with something like this:

 CScript error: Unable to load configuration. (Access denied)

It works if I change its owner to "sa". I tried to grant the EXEC
permission on xp_cmdshell (is it relevant?) to that user but it
doesn't help.

If anyone knows please help me. Thank you very much.

Ken
