You would need to check the Events and Tasks, in vCenter Server. Select the Events and Tasks Tab, and check through the list.

Are you using vCenter Server?

Thanks yes. - the events and tasks -only goes back 2 days or so
You would need to check the vCenter database, to see in the event was recorded.

A Create Scheduled Task is reported in the Tasks list.
