is "Log On As A Batch Job" actually required for RIS clients or is this outdated?

i dont seem to require it on w2k3 server sp 1 to do a RIS install from, why is it mentioned in the 270 what does it actually do with regards to RIS?

cheers

 

the ms press book for the 270 it says that RIS user requires " Log On As A Batch ", which the administrator also doesn't have by default.

However, it doesn't seem to make a difference when i try it, which makes me wonder why and i cant seem to find that out.

 

You can do , however, i have created a RISInstall group with the "Join a computer to domain" delegation, with a dedicated user under it.

but yes both work regardless of " Log On As A Batch " settings, So i wonder why i have been told by MS's book to set it and that it is required.

 

if you don't have the "Join a computer to domain" delegation it does fail for a user it cant create the computer object. Unless you already have a computer object and the user has the right object permissions.

(obviously administrator doesn't fail and still works)

again regardless of " Log On As A Batch " settings

 

it may be a windows server 2000 or pre 2003 sp1 thing, but i cant find evidence yet.

 

Yes you can join a installed client that way 10 times, but it doesn't work for RIS the same way.

regarding your link. administrator doesn't have "Log on as a batch Job" by default and yet works and the link has nothing to do with RIS.

I guess i'll have to ask microsoft

 

I spoke to one of the other Ms press authors last night (writes some the server books).

Basically its stated to accommodate the widest number of scenarios, i believe domain admin doesn't require it.

So if you create a RIS user or group to carry out deployment its good practise even though you may not actually require it for all eventualities.

That does include 2003
