We often have this in the process list of windows builders:
 Mercurial-3.2.1-x64.exe *32
 Mercurial-3.2.1-x64.tmp *32
They're not using any CPU time, and only a few KB of memory. I haven't checked the testers but they're getting the GPO too (bug 1110304).

C:\Windows\Temp has lots of is-?????.tmp dirs, containing files named Mercurial-3.2.1-x64.tmp. There are ~4700 on b-2008-ix-0128 dating back to a year ago, and using 2.6GB of space. The c:\mozilla-build\hg-update file contains:

It was trying install. It was even trying to install twice. The proper item level targeting was in place, but must had been corrected after the machines had picked up the two schedule tasks. 

In GPO I added a delete schedule task. First to remove the Windows 8 task with item level targeting of OS is 2008 r2. Then a second task deletion of the actual installation task with item level targeting based off of a dll file specific to hg 3.2.1. 

Spot checking I am not seeing either task anymore. Also ran a test install and the correct version of hg installed.
