How do I overwrite default settings used by Task Scheduler

Anonymous

I have an application (i.e. ACCUPLACER Score Client) that I am running which creates/deletes a task in the Windows Task Scheduler Library. When the application creates the task, it creates it with the default security settings of "Run only if user is logged on" and "Run with highest privileges" turned off. Is there a way to overwrite these settings so the security settings are set to "Run whether user is logged on or not" and "Run with highest privileges" is turned on?

    Hi Joe-TXST

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    With regards to changing Task Schedular default settings, there is no way to do that.

    Does that utility you are using have a settings page, where you can check if that default can be changed in there?

    If not, then you would need to manually edit the tasks you are creating in the Task Schedular app.
