To Create a Predefined User for Job Schedules
Each job schedule you create requires that you specify a valid domain account or local account that exists on the server that can be used to start jobs. This account will be used to start the job when the schedule is due. When specifying which account to use, you can either directly enter the user name and password of the required account, or you can select the name of a predefined user from a list, where the user name and password have already been defined. Creating one or more predefined users in advance makes it easier for anyone creating job schedules; instead of having to know/remember what user name and password to supply, you can simply select the name of a predefined user from a list.
