Need hide execution window on Windows Scheduled Tasks

[Jesus Vte. Vila]

Hi, I'm using Puppet Agent 1.3.5 on Windows Server 2008 and 2012.

When I create a Scheduled Task, it creates correctly but every time task is running, it shows the task screen. If the task is running every 5 minutes it's annoying.

I've observed Puppet Agent, create task and in the properties, in the part "Configure for" is selected "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP o Windows 2000"

If i change this for "Windows Vista or Windows 2008" the window of the running task is hidden :-) but when agent run again, it changes again to Windows 2003 ....

What can i do?

Thanks .

Hi,

if Puppet does not allow you to specify this preference, you could file
it as a feature request.

The Windows devs at PL are quite crafty, you might get a patch faster
than you think ;-)

This doesn't seem right and isn't in line with how we've seen it work. Perhaps it is a setting you are using that is causing this? Can you specify what your manifest looks like?

We are considering support for v2 scheduled tasks, but right now it needs to be at the level we originally supported. Now that Puppet Agent has removed Windows 2003 support in the latest versions of Puppet we have more options to move forward with v2. We have been discussing this internally, but I don't have anything to share about it yet.

Here are the known Scheduled_Task tickets[1]. You can file a ticket requesting this under the PUP project[2] and we can start a public discussion if you feel this is a priority for us to address.

What can i do?
