Group Policy to Switch off Computer Maintenance

Hi All,


We recently had an issue where a couple of our Windows 7 PC's removed shortcuts from the desktop.  The KB below says I need to Computer Maintenance to Off.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/978980

Any idea where is setting is located in Group Policy?

We are on 2003 functional level, but could go upto 2012 R2 if needed.


Many thanks

The domain functional level doesn't matter for that.
 Just create and link a GPO to your computer OU preferably do this on your 2012 R2 DC. It should hold the most current GPO templates.

That looks perfect.  but I don't have the Scheduled Maintenance folder with Group Policy on the 2012 R2 server.
