   • When a task is created with the type Remote script or Restart and the trigger scenario is set to Desktop not in use, it will not be executed again on the same desktop within 12 hours of a successful execution.
   • If the trigger scenario is set to After desktop creation, Desktops cannot be selected as target objects.
   • If the trigger scenario is set to After user reassignment , Desktop pools cannot be selected as target objects.
   • If the trigger scenario is set to Desktop connection failed, the execution interval needs to be configured. Each task is executed only once for the same desktop within this interval.

   • When selecting target objects, you can search for desktops in batches by entering multiple filter criteria. Use commas (,) to separate multiple values, for example, Desktop1,Desktop2,Desktop3.
