Run a scheduled task as an unprivileged user remotely
Solution 1:
I had a similar issue under Windows Server 2012 R2 and found the following working solution:
- grant the users write access to the XML files in
c:\windows\system32\tasks - grant the users permissions for Powershell Remoting
- let users use Powershell Invoke-Command cmdlet to run SCHTASKS on the remote server:
powershell.exe -command "invoke-command {schtasks /run /tn TASKNAME} -computer SERVERNAME"
