You should be able to load up Task Scheduler and configure everything from there. Have you created a script to run for this task? If so, you should be able to setup a scheduled time to run the script and enact it upon a security group. What steps have you taken so far in an attempt to run the taskkill operation?
</div>


<div>
Here's what I did:<br />
<br />
I set up a security group &nbsp;and added 3 users to it<br />
I added a GPO and linked it to the OU with security filtering to Authenticated Users (Read) and the new security group<br />
The GPO used User Configuration / Preferences / Control Panel Settings / Scheduled Tasks<br />
The scheduled task does not have &quot;run as&quot; so as to not need credentials (even though I've tried credentials without much luck either)<br />
The task is under Run: taskkill with the parameters it needs as arguments
</div>


<div>
What is the result of your setting?<br />
Another option using a user GPO and login/logout process<br />
Login will create the schtasks and schedule it<br />
Logout will delete the task.<br />
<br />
specifics are missing, are you trying to force user to logoff. <br />
<br />
Your issue might be the reference to the batch file where taskkil is envoked or the parameters you are setting with your schedule get misinterpreted ir running into an issue...
</div>


<div>
How do you create a scheduled task at the login time and delete it at log off? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
And an option to force a log off might be decent too, although I'd only want that on certain machines, not necessarily tied to the user.<br />
<br />
The taskkill command I'm wanting to issue is simple. It's like this: Taskkill /IM prowin32.exe /F
</div>


<div>
How are you configuring the GPO? What are you using to launch the taskkill command when you schedule the task? Batch? When the task runs, do you see any corresponding errors in the Event Log? Does the task attempt to run at all?
</div>


<div>
I believe it attempted to run but I got this in the event viewer:<br />
<br />
The user 'FIMS Log Off at 10 PM' preference item in the 'FIMS Log Off at 10 PM {1327EFB3-7D06-48D4-BA58-6<wbr />3C5D78FA35<wbr />2}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.

I want to deploy a group policy to run a scheduled task at 9 PM each night to run a taskkill command. I only need it executed if the user is logged on, and I'd prefer to not have to enter credentials for the command that might change later, even though that's not as big a deal. I've had a devil of a time getting it to deploy, using either user configuration or computer configuration. Basically, I can't get anything to work so far. I only want it to run based on the user logged in, not at a whole machine level. What's the proper way of getting a command scheduled for users that I've added to a security group to run this command at a certain time?<br />
<br />
BTW, I've noticed that whenever I establish a time in in AD it puts it one hour ahead of the time I specified, even though I see nothing at the server level that has inconsistencies with DST or the like.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
