I've been asked to create a scheduled task that manages another scheduled task on a Windows 2003 Server. Both the initial task and the manager task are batch files. The manager task needs to kill the process spawned by the initial task and then start it up again to prevent the log file from growing too large. I have tried to set up a service account that will run the scheduled task and am stumbling around the minimum permissions to give the user. The user needs to be able to run the scheduled task that triggers a batch file that makes use of taskkill.exe and schtasks.exe. The only success I've had was assigning my service account user to the Administrators group.
I'm also open to alternate solutions.
