Even Windows 10, which has a sandbox a feature that runs untrustworthy applications in an independent environment so that the main installation is not affected , has been prone to hackers running malicious scripts and tasks via the Task Scheduler.
These malicious scripts help the hacker to escalate privileges within your network. Enabling auditing of the Task Scheduler to monitor suspicious tasks that have been created should definitely be part of your security plan. In the steps below, you can see how to get details of scheduled tasks in a Windows server.
To track scheduled tasks, you will have to enable auditing of your Active Directory. This provides you a list of pre-configured reports on process activity within AD. You can select the ' Scheduled Task Created ' report to see any new tasks that were scheduled. Logon to your domain controller with administrative privileges and launch the Group Policy Management Console.
In the left pane, expand the ' Forest ' and ' Domains ' nodes to reveal the specified domain you want to track the changes for. Expand the domain and right-click ' Default Domain Policy '. You can also choose a domain policy that is universal throughout the domain, or create a new GPO and link it to the Default Domain Policy. Type 'everyone' in the text box and click 'Check Names' to include the value.
Exit the GPMC. This pulls up the ' Connection Settings ' window. I tried Task Scheduler. However it displays only the local schedules and there is no apparent way to filter the view to show only those which are relevant to the case Saturday morning in this case. Originally asked at stackoverflow by mistake, I might add. If it's something running through the task scheduler, you can look at the Event Logs to see what ran during that time. It will be fairly verbose, so you will need to filter out regular occuring events, but it might help you drill down on the issue.
You could also parse the logs using Powershell. For instance, this will list all the tasks that correspond to event id executed by a time trigger. If you want to get fancy, you could use Powershell to dump performance log data as well and attempt some correlation. Sign up to join this community.

To use Task Scheduler to view the inventory of tasks that are actively running on the local system, right-click the Task Scheduler Library folder and select Display All Running Tasks, as shown in Figure A. For a test system that is a domain controller, the running task inventory had three scheduled tasks that are apparently not completing and were all started at boot time.
Figure B shows All Running Tasks for this domain controller. This task will not operate correctly because this server does not have audio hardware available for use. For this scenario, you would disable this task, and the computer's beep function would remain with this service disabled. For all Windows Server installations, you should perform a thorough check of the default scheduled tasks.
Microsoft provides a breakdown of the default scheduled tasks for Windows Vista , which are very similar between the two products. For more about Task Scheduler, read my post: Explore new task scheduler triggers in Windows Server
