ARD Job schedules change time and date after reloading

First of all I have scheduled a couple of jobs in ARD. One to deploy packages, another to run a perl script through send unix command. These saved scheduled jobs' dates and times change whenever ARD (or the computer) is restarted. Has anyone noticed this before... is it a bug... or am I doing something wrong?

Mixture of systems, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I just wanted to bump this up the list again to see if anyone has any suggestions... I guess it's not a huge deal, but it's a major annoyance of mine as of late.

Unfortunately I have to live with ARD for a while as a management system, but in the future I want to take a look at Casper Suite.

Thank you,
Ken

Just to keep this bumped, it's clearly a bug. Hopefully it will be spotted, heard, fixed.

And yes, it's a problem for me too. Have to re-save the scheduled time if ever Remote Desktop is quit. Grrrrrrrr.

Thank you! More and more I am discovering that ARD is not an enterprise management system. It is a good tool to keep around, but in the future I'll need to look into bigger and better solutions.

Thanks,
Ken
