SYMPTOMS
In leap years, System Agent may run monthly tasks that should run on
the 30th day of the month at the wrong time of day on the 28th of
February. You expect System Agent to run the tasks at the correct
time of day on February 29th.
CAUSE
The System Agent specification indicates that any day after the last
day of the month is treated as the last day of the month. If a task
is scheduled to begin at 11:59 P.M. on the 28th of February, and end
at 12:00 A.M. on the 29th, the end time precedes the start time and
the period is not what you expect.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
