My Windows computer isn't running tasks with past dates

Hello everyone.

I'm having trouble creating tasks if the computer isn't available at that moment.

For example, I create a one-time task and assign it to a computer that's currently offline.

According to the documentation, when you create a task to run only once, with a past date, it's created to run 5 minutes later. But that's not the case. The task is created at the time I specified when creating it in TRMM, and it doesn't run.

This is what the documentation says:
Run Once:

• For future dates, tasks run as scheduled.
• For past dates, tasks are created to run 5 minutes after being registered with the Windows Task Scheduler. This ensures the task runs at least once, as the scheduler will not execute tasks with past "Run Once" dates.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

just wanted to add that we've noticed the same thing on our end in the last few months. And even after trying to recreate the tasks and everything we didn't manage to get it to work.

What we've noticed is that only tasks that were configured to run once have this problem. Repeated tasks (for example daily) run without problems as do onboarding tasks.
The tasks configured to run once only run on devices that are online at the time set for the execution of the task. All the devices that are offline at that time never run those tasks and stay in the "synced with agent" and "awaiting output" statuses, even though the "Run ASAP after scheduled start is missed" checkbox is checked.
Running one of those missed tasks via right-click "Run task now" works without problem, but checking every device one by one and running missed tasks manually isn't really a feasible option.

We've had this problem in version 1.2.0 and in version 1.3.1 it still persists.

The screenshot shows how it looks on our end (don't mind the black and white boxes those are there for censoring reasons). Even though the device is online the tasks configured to run once don't run automatically.

There are known quirks with the current "tasks" implementation and how it interacts with the windows task scheduler. There's multiple other issues regarding this.

It's planned to completely replace, and internalize tasks to the TRMM servers scheduler so this should resolve when that is completed.
