The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

The first sentence in the AT-Notes section (AT Command Reference) of Windows NT Help (WINNT.HLP) states the following: 

   The at command requires you be a member of the local Administrator
   or Backup Operator group.
The above statement is incorrect. Members of the Backup Operators group cannot access to the Schedule Service. When a Backup Operator tries to start the Schedule Service or schedule a backup with the AT command, the Backup Operator receives an "Access Denied" error message.
