I am trying to add a scheduled task to run a batch file that updates / installs software. I created a GPO to create the task, using these settings:
Task Settings
Task settings 2
Task settings 3
For one of them, I am using item level targeting to only apply to one group. But this issue is happening with both. I also have tried using both User Configuration and Computer Configuration, with the same settings as above. The other thing that I have changed, is the 'Start in' setting, which I have set to C:\ and C:\Windows to test, and still had the same issue.
On the endpoints, I run gpresult and see the policy has applied successfully, but there is no task. I turned on the logging and tracing option in group policy and saw this in the resulting file:
