Adding the user to the "Log on as Batch" group policy does not allow them
to
schedule tasks still....

Run as Batch. There is no Logon as Batch unless you created that.

What else can we try?

See if they can schedule a batch locally. The remote scheduler may require
admin (like) privileges.

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.

It is not -- it is a Right. But you might create such a Group, give the
right, and make it easy to give the right by adding someone to the
group (if you don't already have users in a large number of groups.)

Check RIGHTS not groups.

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

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?
