Task Scheduleris a component of Microsoft Windowsthat provides the ability to schedule the launch of programs or scripts at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals:job scheduling(task scheduling). It was first introduced in theMicrosoft Plus!forWindows 95 as System Agent but was renamed toTask Scheduler in Windows 98. The Windows Event Logservice must be running before the Task Scheduler starts up. This service should not be confused with the scheduler that allocates CPU resources to processes already in memory.

It runs on a 2008 R2 domain controller and up until last week it ran fine. It stopped working as soon as we moved the account it uses out of the domain admin group. Is there a way to keep the .exe job working without giving the service account it uses domain admin rights? logs show it completed the job but nothing is actually run. this is the log output Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\DHCP Log Backup" , instance "{4352d922-50f2-49f5-bddb-488430928e58}" , action "C:\Windows\System32\dhcp\dhcplfr\DHCPLFR.exe"with return code 3762507597. A: If you want to give the task to a non-domain admin account, make sure that the account you wish to use has read access on the folder containing the logs, and write access on the folder where the logs need to be copied to. Also make sure that the non-domain admin account has the rights to log on locally and log on as a service.
