I have a scheduled task that was created as part of a GoToMeeting installer. The task runs an executable that checks for any updates. The file lives at %localappdata%\GoToMeeting\15160\g2mupdate.exe.
Our default software restriction mode is disallow.
We have an path rule set for %localappdata%\GoToMeeting\" for unrestricted. This should allow this file to run unrestricted.
When this scheduled task runs Event 865 gets logged in the Application event log and the file is blocked.
"Access to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\GoToMeeting\15160\g2mupdate.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by the default software restriction policy level."
If I manually run the file it works just fine. No block. NO event message logged.
If I change my path rule from %localappdata%\GoToMeeting\" to "C:\Users\(username)\appdata\local\GoToMeeting\15160\" the job runs just fine.
Both these paths resolve to the same location. Why doesn't "%localappdata%"\GoToMeeting" work?
I have also tried the following path rules with the same block
c:\Users\%username%\appdata\local\GoToMeeting\
%userprofile%\appdata\local\GoToMeeting\
