NT4 Task scheduling problems

I?m trying to set up an automated task on an NT4 server using the built-in Scheduled Tasks program. I have done it successfully on other servers and workstations.
Now I have one server here that is giving me a bit of grief. I set up the specified task and when it comes time to run the app. I get the Could not start message under the Last Result column.

Following is an excerpt from the log file:
The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed, therefore, the task did not run.
The specific error is:
0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.


Sounds pretty straight forward huh??
Funny thing is, I?m using the Administrators account to set up the task, and as a matter of fact I?ve even tried it under different accounts to no avail.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be, or how to set up a task using a different program or via command prompt or ????

Go to user manager and then go to policies. You will find that logon as a service will need to be granted to the Administrator account (if that is the account you want to use).

Thanks Drakkhen, but the user does already have that right. I even gave another user that right and tried it with that one too. Still doesn't work. :(


Any other ideas?
