Had the same issue today  I added the user to   Administrative Tools - gt  Local Security Policy - gt  Local Policies - gt  User Rights Assignment - gt  Log on as a batch job  But was still getting the error  I found this post  and it turns out there s also this setting that I had to remove the user from  not sure how it got in there    Administrative Tools - gt  Local Security Policy - gt  Local Policies - gt  User Rights Assignment - gt  Deny log on as a batch job  So just be aware that you may need to check both policies for the user

The user that is configured to run this scheduled task must have  Log on as a batch job  rights on the computer that hosts the exe you are launching  This can be configured on the local security policy of the computer that hosts the exe  You can change the policy  on the server hosting the exe  under      Administrative Tools -  Local Security Policy -  Local Policies -    User Rights Assignment -  Log On As Batch Job   Add your user to this list  you could also make the user account a local admin on the machine hosting the exe    Finally  you could also simply copy your exe from the network location to your local computer and run it from there instead   Note also that a domain policy could be restricting  Log on as a batch job  rights at your organization
