Is there an option that can I setup that allow me to start a task-sequence only if it is detected the user is logged off (not using the PC)?
Thanks
Hi @Marc ,
Thank you for your feedback.
I did more research on your question. You want to deploy the task sequence only when no users are logged on to the computer, right? According to my research, I found a similar case. We can implement it by verifying the "explorer.exe" is running which only exists when a user is logged on to the machine.
For more steps, please refer to the following article:

If I misunderstand something, please let me know. Looking forward to your feedback.
Best regards,
Cherry

Hi @Marc ,
We can set the deployment for the task sequence as 'Required' and specify Assignment schedule as Log off. The screenshots for your reference:

Good day and welcome,
You could create a custom task that monitors the event log for a log off event and use that as a trigger to initiate your tasks. Please see link below.
Mark as answered if the information was helpful to your cause.

Thank you MartenTheunissen-2934,
I am not an expert. I have heard SCCM doesn't have a native option to do an inventory of task scheduler. Do you mind explain me how can use this task scheduler option with SCCM?
