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:
memory address: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. 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.
