| Hi,
We want to execute some tasks (virus scan, defragmentation, etc.) after business hours and want to use the combination of Wake-On-Lan and Prism Deploy for this purpose.
For testing, I have created an unattended script and a task that runs every hour and set the option to wake the computers if necessary. Every hour the pc boots and the task is executed (the computer is then shut down by using the shutdown.exe command in the script). The first time however, it takes two hours before the task is first run. So, let's say the current time is 20:00 and I want the task to start first at 20:02, it will only run the first time at 22:02.
I have studied pictaker.log on some client pc's and found the following entries:
/ServerGMT 24-10-2006 10:15:40
/LocalTime 24-10-2006 12:13:46
Could this be the cause of this problem? Both clocks on the server and clients show the same time though.
Regards,
Raymond |

| | Hello Raymond, Yes, you're correct - good detective work. The first time a recurring WOL task runs it installs relative to GMT on the server.
