The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS
========
When several mandatory jobs are queued up and due at a certain time (for
example, at 9:30 A.M.) and a user logs on to the Windows NT Workstation computer
at a later time (suppose 9:45 A.M.), PCMWIN32 runs the jobs correctly, but it
does not take the jobs in order of mandatory time. The same behavior affects
PCMSVC32 when a server or a workstation is turned on after the mandatory date
and time.
All versions of the Package Command Manager (PCM, which includes PCMDOS,
PCMWIN16, PCMWIN32, and PCMSVC32) are affected.
