Responses that are scheduled by the Operations Manager 2007 agent may not run at the specified time
In Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007, rules can be
authored to run a script on a timed basis. The rule can be further authored to
synchronize at a specific time each day. However, even when you configure a rule to do this,
the script may not run at the exact time that is specified in the dialog box. Instead, there may be a small delay. The delay may be anywhere from several seconds to several minutes, depending on how busy the target Health service is and the
interval length between scheduled runs.
This is expected behavior because the scheduler module was
designed to minimize the resource effect on the agent and was not intended for
real-time accuracy. Even if the Health service agent is heavily taxed, any
delays in running the response should be no more than one percent of the time
since the last scheduled run.
If you want to run an agent response with more accuracy, you
can use either of the following methods:
- If the response is a script, the Windows Task Scheduler service
can be used to run the script at an exact time. Task Scheduler is a service
that uses a completely different timing mechanism.
- If the response is not a script, or the script cannot be
run under Task Scheduler, a rule can be authored to run the response when a
custom event is observed on the agent. The Windows Task Scheduler can be used
to programmatically create an event in the agent’s local event log on a
scheduled basis. The Operations Manager 2007 agent would run
the response every time that the Task Scheduler adds this custom event to the
event log.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
