Task Scheduler is not running/executing on AVDs.

Hello Gainmore M Fore,

It seems you're experiencing issues with Task Scheduler not running your logoff task on your Azure Virtual Desktops (AVDs). Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1.Test your script before putting it into a task

The Task Scheduler initiates a task. When using a script, you need to have the complete script ready before setting up the scheduled task. To avoid errors, test your script first using tools such as PowerShell or Command Prompt.

2. Review the Task History

Open Task Scheduler, locate your task, and check the History tab. Look for any errors or messages that might explain why the task isn't running.

3. Check for any errors in the Task History.

If you encounter any errors while completing the task, or if the task finishes without displaying the expected output, try the following methods to help identify the issue:

• Enable transcripts to review errors when running the PowerShell script. For batch scripts or others, add extra output commands to help trace which command is failing.
• Set the Security options to Run only when user is logged on to check if the problem is related to the security context.

4. Check Windows Policies:

• Group Policies might block certain tasks or scripts from running. Please review the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) for any settings affecting Task Scheduler or script execution.
• Check under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Task Scheduler, as well as User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon/Logoff.

5. Check for Permissions

• Verify that the task is running in the correct user context. If the task is configured to run under a non-administrative user account, it might lack the necessary permissions to log off other users.

Try running the task as a system account (e.g., NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) to ensure there are no permission-related issues.

6. Check Event Viewer Logs:

• Review the Event Viewer for any errors related to Task Scheduler. Navigate to "Applications and Services Logs" > "Microsoft" > "Windows" > "TaskScheduler" > "Operational" to find error messages that may identify the issue.

I hope this helps you identify the cause of the issue. Let me know if you need any additional information.
