Schedule time is ambiguous when factoring different time zones for clients / consoles and server

Products

• Task Server

Issue/Introduction

When scheduling a task in the SMP console it is not clear whether the task is going to run at that specific time compared to the client / console or server time.

Environment

SMP 7.x
SMP 8.0

Resolution

In SMP 8.1 we have added a drop down box that specifies whether you want to run this task according to the server time or UTC time.

If you would like to have a task run according to the client time then a policy is needed. You can achieve this by using a client task schedule and select the "Use Agent Time" option.
