     The task will run under the credentials with which the user who starts the tasks is logged on. If the task has to run on schedule, you will be asked for the current user's password on completing the task creation.

   • Use the following credentials

     The task will always run under the credentials you specify, whether started manually or executed on schedule.

     Specify:

     • User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).
     • Password. The password for the account.
