Issues scheduling a supporting task multiple times per day.

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I'm trying to schedule a supporting task to run at 5:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm. I thought this would be simple. I just add 3 daily triggers to the task or so I thought. When I do that it always skips the 5:00am trigger. I've tried adding them in different orders but it doesn't make any difference. It will run at 6PM and then schedule the next run for 12PM.

So I have to disable the noon trigger and then after the 5am run I can enable it again. After the 6pm run, I need to go in and disable the noon trigger so the 5am trigger will be used. This kinda defeats the purpose of scheduling something.

I thought about setting up 3 separate supporting tasks but I have tasks that are dependent to these so then I would need multiple versions of those or some other complex combination of triggers.

Is this a known bug? I haven't been able to find others posting about it. We are running 10.0.9277.8 on a Windows 2008 R2 server (both are 64-bit).

Being you are on a patch release, can't tell if it is a bug or not. I would upgrade to SR5 and see if you still have the issue.
