SYMPTOMS
When Package Command Manager is installed, and you send a Run Command On Workstation job, Package Command Manager runs the command successfully, but the InstallByDate entry in Pacman.log indicates the year 2033.



CAUSE
Package Command Manager is used to run packages while a user is not logged on. After a job is run, the instruction file is modified to show a year and date of "00/00/00 00:00:00." Package Command Manager interprets this date as "Thursday, October 06, 2033 11:55:01." This date prevents the package from running again. This issue is not known to cause any problems.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, install the hotfix that is mentioned in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is an issue in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
