I added a Scheduled Task on my Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller in the Group Policy Manager:
MyDomain Policy
User Configuration
Preferences
Control Panel Settings
Scheduled Tasks
Basic Task, like starting notepad, when user unlocks his workstation.
This should show up in the client workstation's task scheduler, but it dosn't. No errors or anything like that.
If I use the "Computer Configuration" instead of "User Configuration" the task appears, and I'm able to run the task.
I've tried the gpupdate /force
followed by gpresult
and checked the report, but it dosn't contain the GPO Scheduled Tasks I created? (again, does show up when using "Computer Configuration".)
The issue is that I have to run the application in the current users context, and only on a specific Employee OU, and thereby limit this task only to Employee Workstations and not apply the application when the same employee log on to internal servers and such.
Primary domain dontroller is a Windows 2008 R2, workstations Windows 7 Enterprise.
What am I doing wrong ?
