Your batch job needs to run as a user that has membership in the DBA_GRP, as
well as having logon privileges.

Your job is likely running as system local, which will not be able to connect to
the database as sysdba.

There are probably various means to do this, but the only method I have succesfully used involves using Perl with Dave Roth's win32 Perl modules.

The one or two batch jobs I use that need privs other than system local and are not run as daemons via Win32:Daemon use the logon_as_user function.
