Odd Results with Scheduled Batch Files in Windows Server 2008 R2

MS DOS BATCH FILE VIA 2008 R2 Scheduled Task / zaib

Recently I upgraded one of our old File server previously running Windows 2003 with Windows 2008 R2 64bit. this server was a member of AD and was logging with domain admin account.  Everything went smooth, but after few days I faced an strange issue that few scheduled BATCH files were not running properly at given time. If I try to execute batch file manual, they give proper result, but from schedule they dont, even by right click on the task and selecting RUN dont actually execute the batch file. To resolve this issue I added the admin account in Domain Group Policy and every thign now running fine as expected.

• Edit Group Policy at Domain Controller
• Goto “Computer Configuration” Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Users Rights Assignment
• Now on Right side menu, Double click on  “Log on as a batch job” to take its properties,
• then click button “Add user or Group“
• then click button “Browse”
• then click button “Advanced”
• then button “Find now“
• Add your required user ID / Account here like “administrator” or likewise
• and then “OK“
• Force by gpupdate /force at DC and Client as well.
• (Or if pc is stand alone, then goto “Start” > Administrative tools > local security policy”)

.

This solved my problem of BATCH files not running via Scheduled Task,
