WMIPRVSE needs to be run under network services by default

I have 2 separate servers (windows server 2008 r2) from where I am running vbs scripts through a microsoft scheduler ( my-computer>manager>Schedule). when I run vbs scripts locally they are working fine, but when it is being run through scheduler one of servers is getting stacked. while the other is working fine. And also I have noticed from task manager that the working server runs the WMIPRVSE.exe though Network Service user and the other one shows SERVICES as user.

How to make sure that WMIPRVSE.exe will always run under Network Services. Thanks

Edit:

I have tried to change the log on user from services, but it failed to start the service than.
