How to permit access to create Scheduled Tasks for non-Admin users

[Guest shdowflare]

Hey all,

 

We have a few application experts to which we've given user-level RDP access

to some W2K3 servers. They want to be able to create scheduled tasks that

will run under their account. By default, non-Admins can't see the Scheduled

Tasks applet. "Access Denied" is what they see.

 

I've seen some GPO config options regarding the Task Scheduler but I can't

seem to find one that will allow regular system users to create/modify

scheduled tasks. Can you guys help me out?

 

Thanks in advance,

B

The simple solution is assigning the user to Backup Operators group of the local computer. Another option is use cacls command to modify tasks folder, which is located in c:\windows\tasks in most cases.
