only administrators can start batch files from task scheduler

[Lutz Elßner]

Is this a feature of Windows 2003?
A batch file with only "PAUSE" in it can be started from Task Scheduler when
the Account is in the Administrators Group. Any other Permission fails with
Error "Could not start" in the Scheduled Tasks Folder. There ist no other
Message in the Event Log.
Other Programs (exe Files) can start with lower Permission. Only bat Files
do not start, also when I start is with cmd.exe /C

Should I use a Member of Administrators Group in the Scheduled Task or how
can I use Lower Permissions?

You could also try using the AT command to run tasks at a particular time as the AT
command runs as the system account. Note that you may need to use quotes around the
command and possibly use the /interactive switch. --- Steve
