Setting time for scheduled scan

[Tim Friesen]

Hello,

I have tried setting up scheduled scans for Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 12pm (noon). Whenever I do this
the application changes my entry to 12am (midnight). I
have also tried to set scans for 13:00 only to have (upon
clicking update schedule) the scans set to take place at
01:00. Any ideas? How do I file this as a bug with
Microsoft?

Thanks,

Tim

You need to set Windows into a 12-hour (not 24-hour) time format before
setting up the schedule times.

Control Panel
Regional and Laguage Options
tab Regional Options
button Customise
tab Time
Set "Time Format" to hh:mm:ss tt
OK all the way out.

Set your schedule in MSAS

Then repeat above, setting Time Format to HH:mm:ss if you prefer 24-hour
display.

By Bill Sanderson:

I've dug into this bug, as follows:

Users in locales where the default clock is a 24 hour format will find
that they cannot set scheduled scan times in the afternoon.

This can be worked around by selecting a time format which uses 12
hour format rather than 24 hour.

This is on the Time tab, and a working format is: h:mm:ss tt

A non-working format is: any of the choices with a CAPITAL H at the
beginning.

This isn't my discovery, it was posted by others here, but I've done
some testing:

1) I set my language to English (United Kingdom) afternoon settings
failed (default time is 24 hour.) Reset time to 12 hour,and afternoon
settings worked.

2) I set my language to English (United States) Default time setting
is 12 hour. Scheduling scans in the afternoon works fine. Change just the
time settings to a 24 hour choice, and you can no longer set up a scheduled
scanin the afternoon.

This bug appears to me to be new in build 614.
Control panel,
date, time, language, and regional settings
Regional and language options
Click customize next to your locale setting
Click the time tab.

This seems like a waste of a work around. I prefer having
my time in 24H format. Is there any way of posting this
as a bug to Microsoft? It seems pretty pointless to me
that I can set the time to 24H in the OS but then one of
their own applications fails to respect my setting choice.

It's been reported hundreds of times already. The work-around is provided
to permit you to continue beta-testing. You can restore 24-hour time format
as soon as you have set your schedule times in MSAS.
