Refresh Group Policy Cache.XML

Question

Hi,

I exported this file in Task Scheduler & I’m trying to import it back but I get the error “task scheduler service is not available task scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it”

Any help would be grateful.

None of the above recommendations worked

You marked an answer as accepted. Did that fix your problem or not?

In that post user CaliDogg7 replied that he solved the problem by deleting an empty task file that he found.

Open Powershell_ISE with "run as administrator" and run this script. See if it detects a mismatch or an empty file.

$files = Get-ChildItem C:\Windows\System32\Tasks -file -Recurse
"File count = {0}" -f $files.count
$tasks = Get-ScheduledTask
"Task count = {0}" -f $tasks.count
if ($files.count -ne $tasks.Count) {
    $t = $tasks.taskname | Sort-Object
    $f = $files.name | Sort-Object
    ""
    "Here is whats different."
    Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $f -DifferenceObject $t 
} 
$sm = $files | Where-Object -Property Length -lt 1000
if ($sm.count -gt 0) {
    ""
    "Here are the small files."
    $sm | ft -Property Length, FullName
} else {
    ""
    "No small files detected."
}
