Windows 7 Browsing Scheduled Tasks on Remote Computers
- Thread starter LU9092
- Start date
Managing Scheduled Tasks through AD is not implemented in in 2003, or 2003R2. Interestingly, Scheduled Tasks do not appear when I browse 2008 machines either. I've hunted around for answers to this and done a good bit of troubleshooting myself, to no avail. Unless there's a reg hack, I may be looking for the most convenient workaround rather than a solution.

I will do some looking tonight when I get home. I think you would be able too manage [scheduled tasks] via AD but only when using Server 2008 FFL, this unfortunately would mean that you would only be able to use Server 2008 DCs. I will fire up the VMs to verify, also see if I can find any workarounds since Im rather interested in this as well.
Just ran into this thread and had just worked through this issue. Working on a 2003 Domain Controller trying to access scheduled tasks on a Windows 7/32Bit box in the domain. When browsing by name \\computername, no scheduled tasks or printer options are shown.
Manage the target computer via run -> compmgmt.msc -> Action Menu -> connect to another computer or your method of choice.
Go to services and make sure that remote registry service is started on the client. I set it to automatic as well....personally it is handy to bang on a registry when you need to get to the point quickly. It may pop up a message about another service not being available. It still starts anyway.
Once remote registry was started, now I see Sheduled Tasks by browsing \\computername
Now what I'd really like is to be able to see Printers and Faxes on Windows 7 across the network, which is how I got here in the first place. It is handy to add a single local or TCP printer to a box or better yet, change settings and update drivers over the network for a doamain computer without having to script, change or make GPO's or take over the machine.
I have a user that has an IP printer in a back office that just upgraded to Windows 7 and is having print problems which I know are driver related....she's maybe one of two people that uses the printer, really no need to be a shared printer off of a server...and typically it would take 10 seconds to update the driver on an XP box over the network once RDP'ed into the server.
It would be nice to find a way to show Win7 printers and faxes across the network without having to reboot the box if it is a registry change.
Anyone have ideas?
