Issue/Introduction

It is not possible to create new or edit existing (custom) Shared Schedules.  This seems to be broken since we upgraded last.  The Shared Schedules show a red exclamation point next to each schedule.  The Shared Schedules are also not being created in Windows Task Scheduler as they should be.

Environment

ITMS 8.x

Cause

Errors in SMP Logs:

Unable to create scheduled task: 'NS.Custom Last Wed 0200.{GUID}'

Value does not fall within the expected range.

Resolution

Please do the following to resolve this issue:

  • Open Core Settings (NS Console > Settings > Notification Server > Core Settings)
  • Search for  "ScheduleManagerInterop".  If it’s there, set it to 1.  If this option is missing, please create it
  • Restart the Altiris Services service
  • Test the Shared Schedules
