I don't think that event is related unless it is generated at the same time
that you tried to run the AT command, though be default administrators have
that user right. To see the explanation of that user right see the link
below.

The only other thing I can think of is to go to Control Panel, open
Scheduled Tasks and in go to advanced - view log to see if anything is
recorded there as to what the problem could be. There are free tools like
filemon and regmon from SysInternals that may help if you run them just
before you try to use the AT command, stop them as soon as the AT command
fails, and then look in the log of the program to see if you can find any
access denied messages for files or registry. The problem though is that
would be very hard to do on a busy server unless you can take it off the
network for a bit as regmon and filemon can generate thousands of entries in
their logs in half a minute. -- Steve
