Policy CSP - ADMX_sdiagschd

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

Determines whether scheduled diagnostics will run to proactively detect and resolve system problems.

  • If you enable this policy setting, you must choose an execution level. If you choose detection and troubleshooting only, Windows will periodically detect and troubleshoot problems. The user will be notified of the problem for interactive resolution.

If you choose detection, troubleshooting and resolution, Windows will resolve some of these problems silently without requiring user input.

  • If you disable this policy setting, Windows won't be able to detect, troubleshoot or resolve problems on a scheduled basis.

  • If you don't configure this policy setting, local troubleshooting preferences will take precedence, as configured in the control panel. If no local troubleshooting preference is configured, scheduled diagnostics are enabled for detection, troubleshooting and resolution by default.

No reboots or service restarts are required for this policy to take effect: changes take effect immediately.

This policy setting will only take effect when the Task Scheduler service is in the running state. When the service is stopped or disabled, scheduled diagnostics won't be executed. The Task Scheduler service can be configured with the Services snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console.
