Run with Highest Privileges
Run with Highest Privileges
Run with Highest Privileges

This option must be enabled in order to execute the task using an elevated privileges token, rather than one subject to User Account Control (UAC) restrictions. An elevated token allows a process to execute with all the privileges available to its specified credentials. For example, a task executed with an administrative account will behave as though it received permission via a UAC dialog to perform a privileged operation.
 
This option will not give a user account privileges that have are not already granted to it. For example, taking ownership of a file is a privileged operation by default. A task will still fail even with this option selected if it is run with a regular user account that has not been granted the ability to change file ownership.
 

Note
titleNote

This option only will affect tasks executed on Windows systems that support User Account Control (UAC). It will have no affect on tasks run on Windows releases prior to Vista (for example, Windows XP, Server 2003).


Interact with Desktop 

This option must be enabled for a task that runs an application with a GUI requiring some manual actions from a user (for example, clicking buttons or entering values).

Note
titleNote

When using this option to display GUI applications on any version of Windows that enforces session 0 desktop isolation (that is, Windows Vista and later), the GUI will only be accessible from the interactive console session. Further, the task will execute using the credentials of the user logged into that session.

This means that any GUI-based application executed via a Windows task will not be visible from a remote desktop session. It will be visible only from console of the interactive session that exists on the system itself (that is, the session you would see from a monitor attached directly to the Windows machine or by logging in via a VM's host UI).


Create ConsoleIf Interact with Desktop is enabled; Allocates a new console for the process, rather than having it inherit one.

IL:Command or Script

If the Windows/Linux Scripts Permitted Universal Controller system property is set to false:

  • The Command or Script field is set to Command and is read-only.
  • If the Command or Script field is set to Script, the field becomes modifiable so that you can change it to Command.
Note
titleNote

For both command-based tasks that call a .vbs/.js file directly, and script-based tasks that also rely on the systems association with file extension, GUI-based wscript.exe is associated with the vbs and js file extensions. Without explicitly calling one or the other, the Controller would use wscript.exe.
 
The Agent system may need to be adjusted to properly use the Windows Scripting Host from the scheduler/agent environment.
 
The following command can be used to set the default script host to cscript.exe: C:\tmp>cscript //h:cscript //s
