Batch Logon

A batch logon is rarely used in the Windows operating system because it is usually reserved for applications that run as batches, such as bank account reconciliation and big print spools. The account logging on must have the logon as a batch job privilege. If it does not, the account will fail to log on.

Note   If you are familiar with Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0, you will notice four new logon privileges in Windows 2000 Server: deny logon locally, deny network logon, deny batch logon and deny service logon. They provide the ability to deny logon privileges. For example, you can allow a group of users the ability to log on locally but not allow one specific, nontrusted account to do so.
