Re: problem with Scheduler at daylight saving time switch

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

it sounds to me like it did exactly what you asked: to run the task at every 3.00 AM your machine encounters. too bad it did encounter this time twice last sunday morning. if you want to get rid of this next year: set the job to run at 3.01... or time other that between 2.00 and 3.00. (which times will be a problem again if you go TO CEST: f.i. if you have a job scheduled at 2.30 am, the clock will not reach that moment that specific day, so the job will not run...

Hi!

On a MS Windows Server 2003 SP2 (additional updates installed
including update KB933360) I have a scheduled task that runs every day
at 03:00.

Last Sunday (2007-10-28), when the time switched from daylight saving to
normal in my time zone, i.e. from Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)
to Central European Time (UTC+1) the Windows Scheduler run the task
twice: at 03:00 CEST and again at 03:00 CET.
(It was a backup job. The Event Log and the backup log shows clearly
that the task run twice.)

In the properties of that task the Schedule tab has the following:
Schedule Task: Daily
Start time: 3:00
Schedule Task Daily - Every 1 day
Advanced Schedule Options: not set

According to these settings, I would say that the task should run only
once in case of time switch from CEST to CET, not twice. Am I wrong?
Is this a bug in Windows Scheduler?
