SYMPTOMS
When you are running management agents (MAs) and using the Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) scheduler, the task may stop at midnight even when you have not configured a stop time. This occurs even though a task that does not have a stop time should continue to run on the same schedule that was active on the preceding day.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to MMS 2.2 Service Pack 1 (SP1.

To work around this problem, add a stop time to the schedule so that the task can continue to run after 00:00.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.2 (build 0630.1123).



MORE INFORMATION
The following settings caused the schedule to stop at midnight: Start         Every          End  S   M   T   W   T   F   S 08:00          00:15               x   x   x   x   x   x   x Command                                          Add DN zscript -define &quot;action=DeltaDiscovery&quot; -dn      x By adding a stop time and configuring the process to not run across the 24 hour boundary, the situation was corrected. The following settings allowed the schedule to continue after midnight as expected: Start         Every          End  S   M   T   W   T   F   S 00:05          00:15        23:58  x   x   x   x   x   x   x Command                                          Add DN zscript -define &quot;action=DeltaDiscovery&quot; -dn      x For additional information about an alternative way of scheduling management agents, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
