    Hi everyone,

    My problem is that I tried to create a schedule that everytime VPN connected to my laptop, it will make a sound.

    So i looked it up on the internet and they give me solution to use "Attach task to this event" for Event ID 20280.

    After I create basic task, when I connected to VPN, there is no sound played as expected, so I think maybe that I mess thing up with the action command.

    When I tried to create another task, it says Task Scheduler "an error occured for task System_RasMan_20280. Error Message : A task or folder with this name already exists."

    What I have done is deleting the Event Viewer folder in system32/Task/Event Viewer Task that includeSystem_RasMan_20280 inside it in hope that i will be able to redo all these thing but I got no luck and always says that task or folder with this name already exists.

    Anyone here know how to delete the "folder"? or maybe it is about registry?

    ====================================================


    All of these problem is caused because I wanted to have a sound when my laptop connected to VPN, so if any of you have solution to my problem you could ignore all of the above mess

    You need to delete tasks you've created from Task Manager, where you created it.  You may have created bigger problems for yourself deleting the Event Viewer folder are you able to recover it?
