when i create a scheduled task on windows, it always ask for administrator
login and pwd to run the scheduled task,
can i assign another userid to do that bcoz i always miss to update the
password for scheduled task after administrator password changed. Which
permission group i need to assign to that new userid for scheduled task?

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

You can use any account you want to run scheduled task. Permissions that are
required to run the task will depend on what the scheduled task needs to do.
E.g. if you want to write a log to a specific folder, the account would need
write permissions (NTFS permissions) on that folder.

I hope this helps,

Grant the user right to log on as a batch job to the account,
and of course, whatever access are needed for the task.
