If you are trying to run a PowerShell Script through Windows Task scheduler in a Windows server using a service account like me, at the end of task scheduler a warning message was shown that the service account need ‘Log on as batch job access’ to run the job.
Here is a blog which explains how to schedule PowerShell script to run from task scheduler
If you try to run the job without providing log on as a batch access to the account running the job, you will get an error with OpCode: Launch Failure – Task Scheduler failed to start the task xyz.
Here are the steps to set up Log on as a batch job access for an account or group through Local Security Policy. This access can also be granted through
Domain Security Policy
.
1. Go to
Control Panel
, select
Administrative Tools
2. Open ‘
Local Security Policy
‘
3. Expand ‘
Local Policies
‘ under Security settings
4. Select ‘
User Rights Assignment
‘.
5. In the right pane, right click on ‘
Log on as a batch job
‘ and select
Properties
6. Add user, click ‘
Ok
‘. Close Local Security Policy tab.
