Windows – This task requires that the user account specified has Log on as batch job rights

applicationtask-schedulerwindowswindows-server-2008-r2

I have created a basic task under our windows server 2008 r2 Task Scheduler.but when I try saving the task I got the following error:-

This task requires that the user account specified has Log on as batch job rights.

now I am not sure if this right is part of the user permission defined inside active directory.. or this is a permission that I need to define separately on the local windows VM ?? can anyone advice on this please?

Thanks

This is a user right that's applicable to the local system. You can grant the right locally or define it in a GPO that applies to the system in question.
