Task Scheduler and Daylight Saving Time

[Steve08]

It seems somewhat extraordinary to me that TS doens't have an option to automatically deal with DST, and move schedules back or forward an hour as appropriate when the system clock changes due to this.

Or have I missed it?

cheers

If the server is set to auto change to DST then the tasks will use the new time. The task will always run at the time set. There is no way that I know of to automate the process to have them run an hour earlier or later as the case may be. You'd have to manually set the time back or forward.

Yeah, that's what I figured - though as I say, it seems a pretty obvious "feature" to have an option to have the server do this automatically, and I am quite surprised there hasn't been enough "demand" for it to make it happen. I want the server's system clock to show the correct local time, but have a number (8, to be precise) schedules that need to run at a fixed time (GMT), and it's a bit of a pain to have to manually reset these twice a year.... ah well, so be it. Cheers....
