Hi,
I am trying to apply a GPO setting for a scheduled task: Computer Configuration\Control Panel Settings\Scheduled Tasks for remote users who use laptops who connect to the our network via the internet and Microsoft VPN (Windows 7). When I run gpresult on a test laptop connected to the internet/VPN I can see that the GPO is applied to Computer Configuration, but I cannot see the scheduled task under task scheduler. I tested this GPO on office based machines and the GPO works fine. I'm aware of the following:
"Network Location Awareness running on the Windows server ensures Group Policy application can work with VPN connection and allows us to make changes to policy settings and make sure they are applied efficiently to mobile users.
When mobile users connect to the corporate network, the Group Policy client will detect the availability of a domain controller. If the Group Policy refresh cycle has elapsed or the previous policy application has failed, Group Policy will initiate a background refresh over the VPN connection, updating both the computer and user policy. There is no need to reboot or log off before connecting to the corporate network over a VPN."
This does not seem to happen and the GPO is not applied unless I run a gpupdate. I do not want to have to tell all our remote users to run a gpupdate. Is there a way around this?
