Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group, or have been delegated the appropriate authority, on the local computer. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.

  • If you enable the Notify Me of Missed Tasks setting, the missed tasks dialog box displays at the foreground of the computer display, in front of the logon screen, when there are missed tasks to report. Anyone who sits at the computer can view the list of missed tasks.

  • To open Task Scheduler, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Scheduled Tasks.

  • A check mark next to Notify Me of Missed Tasks indicates that the feature is turned on. You can click Notify Me of Missed Tasks again to clear the check mark and turn off the feature.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
