Elevated Command Prompt in Windows job

[Bethel Ademowore]

Our company recently migrated some well-used directories from a Windows server without UAC to one that does use UAC. Now all our jobs that run very simple "move" commands are getting "Access Denied" errors. If I log into the server, I get the same messages when running the commands in cmd.exe unless I run cmd.exe as administrator. Our user has administrative rights on the server, and also full permissions on all the files and directories in question. Is there some kind of setting on the Windows agent that allows you to bypass UAC, or does it actually have to be disabled on the server?

Hi Bademo

Many thanks for your request.
I do believe that you would have to disable the UAC. Unfortunately there is no way to by-pass this.

Should you have any further questions or queries, feel free to contact me anytime.

After some googling, I did find that site. Turns out that all I needed to do was check the box "log on as batch user" on the windows tab of the job. Now they work perfectly!
