How to permit access to create Scheduled Tasks for non-Admin

[chicagotech]

The simple solution is assigning the user to Backup Operators group of the local computer. Another option is use cacls command to modify tasks folder, which is located in c:\windows\tasks in most cases.

Hey all,

We have a few application experts to which we've given user-level RDP access
to some W2K3 servers. They want to be able to create scheduled tasks that
will run under their account. By default, non-Admins can't see the Scheduled
Tasks applet. "Access Denied" is what they see.

I've seen some GPO config options regarding the Task Scheduler but I can't
seem to find one that will allow regular system users to create/modify
scheduled tasks. Can you guys help me out?

Thanks in advance,
B
