Re: Running Scheduled Tasks Remotely Without Full Administrator Ri

One thing to note however is that users are REMOTELY scheduling tasks (over
the network).

Where is "Run as Batch"?
.... I don't see it as a group.

I'm also trying to do this...

It seems that in order to CREATE a task, one must be an administrator.
I also cannot find any way to allow a user to CREATE a task without being
an
administrator.

What if you give the user "Run as Batch" right explicitly?

This should work to Schedule and RUN the task locally (in the Task
Scheduler)
but the user may need more privilege depending on what the task actually
does.

I'm trying to setup a user to be able to run a scheduled task on a
remote
server using the following command:

schtasks /run /s MyServer /TN MyTask

Of course, this works fine if I make the user a local administrator on
the
server hosting the scheduled task. But...I don't want this user to
have full
administrator rights on the server.

I gave the user read/execute permissions on the security tab for the
task
itself. I've also given the user "Log on as a batch job" permissions
in the
local security policy, but I am still getting an "ERROR: Access is
denied."
message.

As a work around I also tried giving a test user RDP access to the
server to
see if that would do the trick, but I get an "Access is denied" message
when
I click on the Scheduled Tasks icon in the control panel.

Anyone have any ideas on this one?
