Task Scheduler and AT Command Display Inaccurate Information for Pending Jobs

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01



This article was previously published under Q268902

SYMPTOMS

After you schedule a job by using the at command, the list of pending jobs displays inaccurate information. For example, if you schedule a job to run once today (for example, on 07/14/2000 at 21:30), when you view the list of scheduled jobs (at a command prompt or by using the GUI-based Task Scheduler tool), "Next 14" is displayed instead of "Today" (where "14" is today's date). For example, you may see output that is similar to:

Status ID   Day                     Time          Command Line
--------------------------------------------------------------
        1   Next 14                 9:30 PM       calc.exe
                    

In Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Explorer 4.x, or in Microsoft Windows 2000, the day is displayed as "Today" in both the Task Scheduler tool and by using the at command.
