Scheduled job fails with the below error message.
"Task Scheduler failed to start "<task.name>" task for user "<domain\username>". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943785."
This problem may occur if the task account does not have "logon as a batch job" privilege.
-
Click Start, type "gpedit.msc",
-
try to configure the following policy: [Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment] -Log on as a batch job. Add the domain\username account and any others you may need.
-
Retry the task.
This error might occur when the security policy settings prevent the user from logging on using a local user account.
-
Open gpedit.msc,
-
Admin tools -> Local Security Policy -> User rights Assignnment -> Allow Local login.
-
Retry the task.
If you find you can't change the security options locally then there might be a group policy that is setting this at the domain or ou level.
