win_dotnet_ngen – Runs ngen to recompile DLLs after .NET updates

Synopsis

Notes

Note

  • There are in fact two scheduled tasks for ngen but they have no triggers so aren’t a problem.
  • There’s no way to test if they’ve been completed.
  • The stdout is quite likely to be several megabytes.

Examples

- name: Run ngen tasks
