SYMPTOMS
When you schedule jobs using Task Scheduler, the jobs may not start. If you view the Task Scheduler log, the following error message may be displayed:

The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed, therefore, the task did not run.

The specific error is:

Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.

NOTE: This behavior occurs even if you are logged on to the backup domain controller (BDC) as an administrator.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Log on as a batch job setting is not selected. This right is required to run a scheduled task.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
 * 1) In User Manager for Domains, click Policies, and then click User Rights.
 * 2) Click to select the Show Advanced User Rights check box.
 * 3) Click Log on as a batch job.
 * 4) Add the Administrators group to the list of users that are granted this right.
 * 5) Restart the computer.
