When creating a new scheduled task in Windows Server 2003 there is an option to stop the task after a certain period of time.
This can be changed in the Scheduled Task Completed section located on the Settings tab. The value defaults to stop the task after 72 hours. For many tasks this seems too long, particularly if the application the task runs hangs or does not exit correctly.
Is there a way to change this default in the registry for new tasks to 1 hour, for example, without having to remember to manually change this for each task?
