Got a frustrating problem with the Windows task scheduler on our domain. We don't seem to be able to add scheduled tasks (including the administrator and anyone in domain admins) anywhere on the network.

Servers, PCs, it makes no difference. We are on Windows XP client PCs and Server 2003. We can see the applet for Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel, and we can see the scheduled tasks added by other programs. We can't change the properties on them though (greyed out), and whenever we try and add a new scheduled task, nothing happens. By that, I mean literally nothing happens.

Run A Scheduled Task As SYSTEM. This will run on Windows XP and I want that task to run as the SYSTEM account on the computer. Install / Uninstall; LastLogin.

There is no error message, but the scheduled task wizard does not not start and nothing else happens either. Things I've already checked: • The 'Task Scheduler' service is definitely started (and I've tried restarting it) and is running as the Local System, no other specific account. • Group policy - I guessed that maybe someone had prevented people from changing anything via group policy. I checked though and all of the settings relating to blocking task scheduler are set to 'Disabled' for domain admins security group (that's me) and I've tested it's applying this correctly in practice. Note that they are set to 'Disabled' rather than just 'Not Configured', so this should mean that it is enforcing that we have access to task scheduler in case someone had changed any local policies relating to it. Still no dice. Also, since we get no error message when attempting to add tasks I'm not sure if it could be GP, because in my experience anything that GP is blocking, Windows will give you an error message to say it's been 'disabled by administrator' or just that you don't have permissions.

One thing I can't be sure on is if maybe permissions on the scheduled tasks has been changed to prevent anyone from amending them. Though, like I said, this is affecting all servers and all workstations on the domain. Has anyone come across this, and how would you set individual permissions on the scheduled tasks folder? This folder has different properties to a normal directory, can't see where you would set security.

Any help much appreciated. No, don't think so. Think we already have the answer though. It's Group Policy.

Whilst I'd checked that I'm applying the correct group policy in the results wizard (and this shows correctly), I hadn't actually checked the registry settings to make sure it had changed them. It hadn't, registry settings were still blocking it. Manually editing them fixes the problem, but now I have opened the can of worms which is why is group policy showing one thing in the results wizard but failing to apply it when you log in!

As above and found this when I googled it: USER Administrative Templates Windows Components Task Scheduler Hide Property Pages Prevents users from viewing and changing the properties of an existing task. This setting removes the Properties item from the File menu in Scheduled Tasks and from the context menu that appears when you right-click a task. As a result, users cannot change any properties of a task.

They can only see the properties that appear in Detail view and in the task preview. This setting prevents users from viewing and changing characteristics such as the program the task runs, its schedule details, idle time and power management settings, and its security context.

If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration. Tip: This setting affects existing tasks only.
