Re: set up a scheduled task on windows 2003

Hi,

You can use any account you want to run scheduled task. Permissions that are
required to run the task will depend on what the scheduled task needs to do.
E.g. if you want to write a log to a specific folder, the account would need
write permissions (NTFS permissions) on that folder.

I hope this helps,
