Is there a way to schedule a task for all users of the
same computer? Basically, I want to schedule a task for
the computer and not the individual users. This will be
added to an image using sysprep which also changes the
name of the computer, so need to consider this.
 
AFAIK, there's no way to create a scheduled task using local users that will
"survive" a sysprep. The below articles may help you with your specific
situation.
