Hello. I am having issue on my Windows 2008 Std Edition R2 No Service Packs, Task Scheduler Service is greyed out and I cannot change any properties to set to run as Service Account. Any help will be appreciated. Jimmy

That's expected behavior. It should start with local system account for correct operation. Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hi, If application batch job requires Task Scheduler Service to be configured with a Service Account then is there any way? Regards, Jimmy

Yes, you can do this in the task configuration on the General tab Change User or Group... button. or use AT.exe for scheduling using local system account. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490866.aspx Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]
