SMS: One Hour Delay for Mandatory Time w/Mandatory After Option

ID: Q186132

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft System Management Server version 1.2 Service Pack 3

SYMPTOMS

When you create a job in the System Management Server Administrator program and set the Mandatory After option to a specific time (for example 5/1/1998 3:00PM), Package Command Manager (PCM) in the System Management Server client will receive the job and display the mandatory time for a one hour delay (in the example, 5/1/1998 4:00PM).

This problem occurs when both of the following conditions are true:

• You have installed System Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 3.

  -and-

• You are using Microsoft Windows 95 client.

Note that this problem does not relate to time zone in either the server or the client. This means that it occurs even if your client and server are using the same time zone and the system times are synchronized.

WORKAROUND

Manually adjust the mandatory time in the job's properties to one hour earlier than the time you need.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 Service Pack 3. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
