Each time you create a task in the Task Scheduler (via the Control
Panel), it prompts you for an account name to be used for that
task. Use an account name without admin rights!
I tried using a restricted account but still get access denied in the task
logs when I tried to schedule the task. I can log on as that restricted user
and execute the script manually and it works.
Not sure for scheduled tasks, if it needs any special rights (i.e in local
policy). Any ideas ?
Did you try logging on as an administrator while scheduling
the task?
You may have to allow the selected account to "Log on as a service".
This is one of the many settings in the local policy under "User Rights
Assignments".
Also if it involves network resources, make sure the user account has
permissions to the resources and also use UNC paths as mapped drives won't
exist when no one is logged on.
Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details.
