Scheduled tasks: "Run as" user changes

Hello,

I have 2 users set up, one administrator and one power user. Then I created a task to run at system startup with the administrator account entered in the "Run as" box, because the program started needs administrative rights.

After a while the "Run as" user has automatically changed to the power user and the scheduler displays "Could not start" for this task. Changing the user back to the administrator will make the task run again.

Unfortunately I cannot define "a while" more precise, could be days, weeks, months, number of restarts... But I can see the effect on a huge number (>50) systems being set up in the same way.

Any idea why this happens and how to avoid this?
