Hi there,

you need to have sufficient privileges to be able to logon as the ASPNET user. If you run ANTS Profiler from an admin account then everything should work fine.

Thanks,

Hello,

Specifically, the currently logged in user needs to have the 'logon as a batch job' right in the 'user rights assignment' of the local security policy. Being an administrator will give you this right and may well be easier to do than fiddling around with specific user rights.

I logged into the system with the administrator rights only, but when i go to Local Security Policy to edit the "LOG ON as a Batch" access rights, the add buttons are disabled(greyed). what should i do now?

Brian Donahue

It sounds like this account doesn't have sufficient rights to change the local security policy. Can you log on with the built-in local Administrator account rather than an account in the administrators group?

I tried logging in with local administrator, domain administrator and like a user under administrators group. all the 3 times i faced the same problem. can not edit "Log on as Batch..." ..what we can do now? please advice. thank you.

Brian Donahue

The only thing I can think of is that one of your domain admins may have defined a domain policy denying logon as a batch job to all domain users, and that is overriding your local security policy.

Dear Brian Donahue,

when i checked, it is showing "Not Defined" for "log on as batch" in domain security policy. to my understanding, this policy haven't Defined so far. am i right? please look into this whether we have any other choice?

thank you.

Brian Donahue

Sorry I'm fresh out of ideas. The error code does specifically relate to an inability to log on as the requested type (batch). If it is not the security policy to blame there, I'm at a loss.
