Question : Scheduled Task Not Getting Scheduled Through Group Policy

I'm running Server 2008.
I have a group policy that is simply scheduling a task to run. When I run the results wizard, it says it was a success. When I run gpupdate /force, log off, log on, and/or reboot the client computer to which the policy applies, there is no new task scheduled.

I will give points to a flat out solution to this problem. If we can't find that, I will also award the points for helping me log what's going on in this client machine when it comes to group policy so we can use those logs to discover a solution. I currently don't know where to look on the client machine to see what logs are being generated related to group policy.

My client machine is Windows 7 Pro. Thanks for any help you guys can provide, and please don't hesitate to ask for more details.

Answer : Scheduled Task Not Getting Scheduled Through Group Policy

You would still need the Create task to make sure it is there on new machines.  I would change the schedule to be what you want it to be.  Then create a second Task to Update the named task (same name) to change the schedule.  In the end, you will need two tasks in this.  Your other option is to create a Delete task and remove it from your machines completely.  Once you are sure this is done, create a new Create Task with the correct schedule and you will get the thing created (best with a different name) once any time a machine first enforces that policy.  In this way you will only have one Task in your GPO.
