This task requires that the user account specified has Log on as batch job rights

Solution 1:

This is a user right that's applicable to the local system. You can grant the right locally or define it in a GPO that applies to the system in question.

Solution 2:

Had the same issue today. I added the user to:

Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> 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 -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Deny log on as a batch job
