Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132 From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 5:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Scheduled tasks on a 2008 R2 box 2008 R2 seems to have a vast array of pre-configured scheduled tasks. I can see the benefit from stuff like the Time Sync, IP address conflict, and Disk Defragmenter, but are all the others strictly required? I'm trying to streamline Terminal Services boxes and I'm thinking about disabling some of these tasks, are there any gotchas I should be aware of? TIA, JRR -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
