Using an acct to run scheduled tasks - what rights?

[Mike Leone]

OK. So I need to set up a new account to use to run scheduled tasks. In this particular case, it will be running a Powershell script that moves some files from one folder structure to another.

Now, I'd like to be able t use a domain account. And I'd like it so that I could use this acct to run a scheduled task on any member server. Which means it needs whatever access rights that an account needs to run scheduled tasks, to be set on any of those member servers.

I'm presuming a special GPO that I could link to, or assign only to a specific group of hosts.

But what rights do I need to give it? I've seen it complain that it needs "Log on as batch". But what else? And can those be set via a GPO?

Or is there a better way? How do YOU do this - use a domain account to run scheduled tasks, in the domain? Or do you use a separate account to run different tasks?

Thanks
