My recommendation For a single machine, the most straight forward method is to create an account under the Builtin Backup Operators group. There are two large drawbacks that initially come to mind when running programs under SYSTEM. Security Almost always the biggest reason admins create discreet accounts for scheduled processes is to monitor them and grant them access one would normally not grant to a typical running application. In this case, it needs read access to all files and needs write access to your backup storage location, the later tending to have more strict access. To give any program that runs as SYSTEM amounts to running them as an admin more or less, thus granting it more privileges than it needs. Power mill 9.0.03. There is a built in Backup Operators group for this reason.

UAC The SYSTEM account is sometimes mistaken by users as a SuperUser or a root account. It is neither.

It is used internally by Windows. It was never intended to be used by programs unless the program specifies it. That said, there are unknown bugs that creep up if running a program not designed for the SYSTEM account. For one, notice there is no user password for it. Nor is it actually a user account if you try to authenticate to it remotely. Anecdotally, UAC also plays havoc with programs that run under the SYSTEM context. I've seen badly written programs straight up throw up a dialog asking the user to 'run as Admin.'

Dec 05, 2007 Running a CMD prompt as System (XP/Vista/Win7/Win8). (NT Authority System). Make a shortcut to said batch file anywhere.

• Start any file as Administrator when UAC prompts appear Just press windows key + U and start OSK and it will start CMD instead then in elevated prompt type command Whoami and you will get output NT Authority system and you can start explorer from the system command shell and enter System profile but you are somewhat limited what you can do on network through SYSTEM privileges for security reasonsI will add more explanation later as i discovered it a year ago.
• Windows:Run Task Scheduler with System user. A task from Windows Server 2003 with your used user such as batch file with. Or NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM.

Also there is an MSDN blog post that comes to mind that I cannot find that the author spent a whole day debuggging SQL Server on a client's machine. Fresh install. Or so they thought.

Turns out, a certain component of the OS itself was switched from NT AUTHORITY NETWORK SERVICE to SYSTEM, under the guise that it had a more permissions and privileges than any other account. Rather, it just has different ones.

I have a VBScript that, when run as a scheduled task (NT AUTHORITY BATCH), the function to automatically download the latest copy of file returns no error and completes clean without actually copying down the file. When the script is ran as an INTERACTIVE user, everything works as expected. I should point out that I'm trying to download a file from a SharePoint site. The user the script is run as is passing credentials through IE, everything in that regard is set up. Everything works as expected when I run the script as a regular INTERACTIVE user. But, when I schedule the task and it runs as NT AUTHORITY BATCH, then the error checking doesn't work, the file doesn't download, and the function exits clean. The same exact AD user credentials are used when ran as INTERACTIVE and when ran as BATCH.:: Current Code:: ' Local file to write strFileLocal = 'mySpreadsheet.xls' ' URL to download the new file from.

Yes, it is still technically an unresolved issue. But I'm sure we can agree that it is not an issue with the VBS logic itself, but perhaps more of an issue with server hardening or a SharePoint issue.

So, with that said, and since you've tried to close this issue several times, I will mark it as closed! I wish I could figure out exactly what it is! Again, NT AUTHORITY BATCH is unable to 'download' a file with this logic, but an INTERACTIVE user with the same permissions is.

I've even had Microsoft Premier Support personnel engage, but they did not find a solution either. So I will re-engage it on my own front, and close this out to clean up the forums. I modified your script a bit to make it correct VBScript and instead of writing the information to the console it records it in the Application Event Log. It's hard to say there is anything wrong with your script based on the fact that it works when ran interactively and fails when ran from a scheduled task using the same credentials. Have you tried ruling out the SharePoint server as the problem? Point your script to a file on another IIS web server and see if it downloads the file when running both interactively and as a batch job. If that succeeds, then continue looking at the configuration of the SharePoint server.

If that fails, then continue looking at the configuration of the server you are running the script from. The best way to test this would be in a lab environment where you can configure a bare bones windows server and IIS server, without any security policies that may be getting in the way. The key is trying to rule out the SharePoint server as the issue so you can focus your troubleshooting efforts on the script and the server it is running from.
