Task scheduler - task registration deleted by
I am using task scheduler to run a program weekly at 10am on a Friday for c.100 users in my company.
The program launches a simple windows form, which is a survey users need to complete.
However, the program is not running for c.50% of the users (though not the same users each week).
I think perhaps the reason is that the task registration keeps being deleted (by User NT Authority/System), and then re-registered - see the picture below.
I think this means that if the task hasnt been re-registered, then it wont run - hence the random set if users who get it.
Any suggestions on either:
- What could be causing this registration deletion and how i can stop it
- If there are any other reasons why running the program might be failing for some of my user group
Workarounds to get the desired functionality - launch a program weekly for many users
