It's been assigned 'log on as a batch job' permission - that happened
when I set up the job, AFAICT.
Perhaps I missed some other permission?
Just for grins, where's what else I know:
The account is a member of Domain Users only.
The scheduled task log entry says:
"Backup.job" (backup.cmd) 11/4/2009 5:00:00 PM ** ERROR **
Unable to start task.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
Try using the Task page Browse button to locate the application.
But, the log file is a bit wonky - the service doesn't seem to write
to it in a structured manner. I had to search for this entry - it's in
the middle of the log file, for some reason.
On the file server, I've given the account no particular rights, except
read-only at the top level of the partition where the files are copied (L:)
read-write to the directory in which files are copied (L:\backups)
read-only to c:\batchfiles\ and c:\batchfiles\tools for the
batchfile and the robocopy executable
read-write to c:\batchfiles\logs for writing the log file.
