SYMPTOMS
When Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 advertises a program to an SMS 2.0 client, the client may run the advertised program more than one time, even though it is not scheduled to do this.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the client cannot correctly compute the next run time. This problem occurs when all the following conditions are true:
 * The Advertised Programs Client Agent is configured to provide a countdown before the scheduled program is run.
 * The After Running properties setting for the advertised program is set to Program restarts computer.
 * When the advertised program runs, the program does not restart the SMS client computer.
 * The advertisement for the program is mandatory and has a repeating schedule.
