I have a local account named UserA which will run a scheduled task during system startup. The target of this task will run a batchfile at the sysvol folder of the domain. This don't work. When i check by effective permissions on this script file I cannot select the local user account UserA because as location I cannot select the computer where UserA is located. When I do the same check from the computer (W2k3 R2) i still cannot select the local computer as location to select UserA. Who can help me out?

Thnks for your answer Nina. I was somehow confused for remembering something I saw in the past. When you click on Locations you can select the local computer or the domain. So I thought to browse to the sysvol dir on the computer where the local account is located and altering the ntfs settings on that place to add the local account. The scheduled task I mentioned in my first question is created by GPP. The account configured there is a local account and the batchfile it contains is on the sysvol dir. So this will not work ever. I created a domain serviceaccount and configured this account to run the batchfile now. Regards, Bastiaan

Hi, It seems that you want a local user account on a client to run a script which is stored on the sysvol share of the DCs. If this is the case, I am afraid you cannot. Why not copying the script to the client? I noticed that you said “I cannot select the computer where UserA is located”, what do you mean? Please click “Object Types”, select Computers, then you can type the client computer name and choose Check Names. Is this what you want? Meanwhile, you cannot add permission for a local user on client for the script file. Please check it on your side.
