Managing task scheduler histories
Managing task scheduler histories
- In event viewer there is a setting which allows logs to sized / overwritten as required etc.
Is there a similar capability for task scheduler histories or do they just keep growing indefinitely unless manually pruned?
Thanks

- Hi,
As I know, a task's history is tracked by events in the Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler event log. Events are raised when a task is started, run, when the task is finished executing, and at other times to track a task's history. Errors related to a task are also tracked in the task's history. Thus we only need to custom sizes in Event Viewer.
