I want to schedule a task to run at 5 minutes past midnight UTC every morning.
My computer automatically adjusts for daylight saving time, so during the winter I have the task scheduled for 00:05:00, and when the clocks go forward to BST (British Summer Time) I have to remember to alter the task to run at 01:05:00. I'm using task scheduler 1.0 on windows 10 pro.
Ok, so I only I have to remember this change twice a year, but it's really annoying that I can't find anyway to do this automatically.
UPDATE - one of the issues with a problem like this is that the live task is only run once a day, and the timezones only change twice a year, so creating a suitable test environment isn't very easy. I've tried the 'synchronise across time zones' button and it doesn't seem to do much, I think it's for running multiple jobs across different servers in different time zones.
synchronize across time zones
option will launch the task as if Standard Time was in effect all year. That is, it will ignore Summer Time, which seems to be what you are seeking.synchronize across time zones
