Edit already existing Scheduled Task through GPO
I have been searching for a while but not getting much out of my trusty friend Google at the moment, so wondering if someone else out there might be able to share some wisdom.
By default, Windows has a Scheduled Task under Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > SystemRestore called SR. This is set to run daily on System Startup and at Midnight however I would like it to run a little more frequently.
Obviously I can modify this manually on the odd machine, however I want to change the settings across multiple machines through GPO.
I know how to create a scheduled task in GPO but how to I edit the already created task under the above location?
Any Ideas?
Thanks James :)

Thanks @Matze
"I have been searching myself high and low for a solution to this question. Even creating a scheduled task item within group-policy preferences that has the exact same name doesnt work."
Like you, I tried creating a scheduled task that was called the same name as the existing one and modifying it that way but that didn't work either.
In the end I had to go for creating a new one with the times that I wanted that just sits in the root of the Task Scheduler Library.
"The only way I can think of is attaching a PowerShell startup script to your GPO, that for instance utilizes the Set-ScheduledTask Cmdlet."
I would be interested to know how you would create the script in PowerShell? I have no exposure to PowerShell and sadly my coding skills are minimal :/.
Thanks for your response on this though :)

I would recommend you use the native schtasks.exe command for this as the Set-ScheduledTask Cmdlet is overly complicated. You can use schtasks.exe from within a Powershell script, however.
