Why can't Splunk run a scripted input on Windows even though it has full access to that script?

Hi all! My question is, why splunk can't run a scripted input on Windows even though it has full access to that script?

Entry of inputs.conf:

 

 

[script://.\\bin\deploy.bat]
disabled = 0
interval = 300
index=windows

[script://.\\bin\update.bat]
disabled = 0
interval = 60
index=windows

 

 

These stanzas are responsible for installing and updating Sysmon on Windows servers and hosts. I deploy this configuration by deployment server to UFs. Splunk UFs ran by domain account. This account isn't admin.

Here, there is full access:

Here, as this user is running:

But in the logs I see that access is denied:

Please help me figure out why this is happening and how to solve it!
