AV client push scheduled task doesn't run in Windows 7

Hello.

I have Enterprise Console (4.5 I think) running on Windows 2008 64-bit, trying to push out to Windows 7 clients. About 60% of the clients receive and install ok, but the rest don't. I thought their group policies were the same but maybe not.

Anyway, I can see the scheduled task being created on the client, but it doens't run. If I run it manually the client installs fine and updates with Enterprise Console, but I can't manually run the task on hundreds of clients.

I've spent a lot of time trying to find a group policy that might be restricting the remotely created scheduled task from running (with everything up to and including domain admin credentials) but I'm empty handed. Anyone know what the problem might be?

A tech from Sophos helped me at least figure out that the task was being created and could be run manually. It was a pleasure working with a support person that actually seemed to care!! Made the best of a frustrating situation.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi i have found a poss fix for this issue, well it has worked for me. I found a post from another user regarding issues with permissions on the tasks folder so i updated my win7 policy as a test and behold it worked.

    the following is what is needed to be added to the gpo:

    in group policy for domain: computer-policies windows setting - security- file system

    add %SystemRoot%\Tasks - add rights to user who install

    You have to have rights to write to folder \\computer\c$\windows\tasks to all computers in domain

    by dafault even domain admins have no rights to wrtite to this folder from network
