Run Task Schedule with Least privilege user permission.

Dear EE,

I need to run the EAServer application (exe/ bat file) from Task Schedule BUT with the local user who has least the privilege permissions.

Thanks

Sybase EAServer 6.3.1 EOL 01/31/2015

Will it run as a standard user?

Yes i know it is EOL but still we need to test it for POC.
Can we run the TASK SCHEDULE to start the EAServer with local ADMINISTRATOR ?

I would try starting it as a standard user first.. if you get a UAC prompt or it doesn't run. switch to a local administrator and try running it.
I can't test this but doesn't the 'server' run as a service?

It is also not running event with Local Administrator.

The following procedure will allow a normal user run Scheduled Tasks.

Create a log account with member of Users group only.
Open Local Security Policy console (secpol.msc)
Expand Local policies, User Rights Assignment
Add new user to 'Logon as a batch job' (see Explain tab)
Configure new Scheduled Task using new local user account.

Hi Peter,
Your suggestion is correct but here actually i am referring the EASERVER.
I need to start the EAServer (process and DB, which will start when Process start) from Task Scheduler with local user having limited permissions.

Thanks
