runningScheduled tasks as normal user

[Alexander Grech]

Hi All

I need to run a VBS script which copies certain files to another location on
the hard disk. I have been using task scheduler for this running under
system and admin privilages. Woyld it be possible to run this task under a
normal user account? How can this be setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Use the GUI via the Control Panel / Scheduled Tasks. It lets you
specify the account under which the task should run.

Also, make sure that the user has the right to "Log on as a batch job" on
the machine (and is not included in the "Deny logon as a batch job" setting)
