If the account you are running it under is a domain admin, I wouldn't think it would be a permissions issue. &nbsp;If it is a permissions issue, you probably need &quot;Run as a Batch&quot; right defined in the local policy. &nbsp;It could also be a path issue, make sure the path and the startup directories are correct in the scheduled task.

I have a scheduled task that is set to run an .exe under my account, which is a domain admin. &nbsp;If I double-click the .exe, the program runs as expected. &nbsp;However, the scheduled task fails to run with a &quot;Could not start&quot; error. &nbsp;I recently had some issues with my GPO and had to do a dcgpofix. &nbsp;I'm thinking that my scheduled task problem has to do with the fact that my account does not have the necessary permissions to run tasks. &nbsp;What permissions do I have to grant in order to get this to work?

I have a scheduled task that is set to run an .exe under my account, which is a domain admin.  If I double-click the .exe, the program runs as expected.  However, the scheduled task fails to run with a "Could not start" error.  I recently had some issues with my GPO and had to do a dcgpofix.  I'm thinking that my scheduled task problem has to do with the fact that my account does not have the necessary permissions to run tasks.  What permissions do I have to grant in order to get this to work?

Scheduled Task Permissions
