Why is a "Configuration Manager Client Retry Task" Scheduled Task created

Recommended Posts

I have observed on some of my Windows 7 systems that there is a "Configuration Manager Client Retry Task" created under Task Scheduler. It is set to run "C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /ForceInstall /config:MobileClient.tcf /RetryWinTask:1" once a day every 5 hours.

 

These systems had the client installed using client push through the admin console.

 

I would like to know what process creates the scheduled task and why.

 

Thanks is advance.

The client installer created the task. Ideally, upon successfull installation of the client the scheduled task will be deleted. This method survives a reboot if you have a system that needs to retry a client installation. For some rare reason I have seen the client successfully installed, but the task not deleted. The result is the client get reinstalled every 5 hours until I delete the scheduled task.

Going a step further. On some machines (Rare) i will see the task is scheduled under Microsfot > Microsft > Configuration manager. During install the client will not see this scheduled task because it expects it to be in Microsoft > Configuration Manager.

 

No idea why this happens, but the fix to to kill the tasks in Microsoft > Microsoft > Configuration Manger.
