anyweb Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 check firewall settings on the server and client, vista and server have pretty tough firewalls cheers anyweb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 hi i confirmed that the firewall is off on both clients and servers , as i said im able to access them from any windows 2003 server. could it be not supported becuase windows 2008 and vista have something called task scheduler which is different ?

anyweb Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 where are these tasks exactly, what os are they running on now and why are you trying to access them over the network ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 they are on windows xp domain computer .the windows 2008 is the domain controller , the windows 2003 is the other dc.these tasks are created automaticaly using the new group policy (Control Panel Settings) introduced in windows 2008. I use them to create tasks that would shutdown the computers at specific time everyday and i also create other tasks to execute a script to backup data to remote locations etc. I need to access these over the network to verify they exist , sometime i need to modify or create a specific task quickly. its just like how u add a printer on a client pc using the printers share.

anyweb Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 ok i see it, so are you saying that you create a task in there as a gp, role it out and it doesnt happen on the XP box ? or am I misunderstanding you ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj Posted February 5, 2009 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 no , check this image out , when browsing from a windows 2008 the scheduled task does not appear as in here . creating a gp with a task is not really relevent to my question.
