Hi, I have a windows 2000 server sp4 and it has a few scheduled tasks. I can see and change \ create tasks if i am connected to the server via remote desktop. If i try to access the scheduled tasks sahre from my station or any other station \ server for that matter, i can see the scheduled tasks folder, but when i go in there it shows up empty. moreover, if i try to create a new task it gets stuck. The wierd thing about it is that through rdp connection to the server i can see thr tasks throught \\servername but if i try to do so with \\serverip, it shows up empty again! I went through all of the settings (group policy, registry...) nothing is out of the ordinary. some help will be much appreciated. Itamar.

Hi, Is the RDP logged on user the same as the user who created the tasks? As I know, you can view scheduled tasks on a remote computer running Windows only if you have administrator rights on that remote computer. When the Task Scheduler service runs a job by using a specific account, the Task Scheduler service tries to determine whether this account is also the account of the current logged-on user. If the account is that of the current logged-on user, the security context of the scheduled task is mapped to the security context of that user. Then you can view and change the tasks. Additionally, if the scheduled task user account is not the account of the current logged-on user and you don’t have the administrator rights, then you can’t view the shared tasks.
