Dell OpenManage Assistant Schedule

Current Version 8.9.0

We have used this product over several years (on different machines / versions) and have always struggled when attempting to schedule a device control task.  The weekly schedule doesn't work if you select, say, Monday to Friday.  If you 'Run Now' against a task it adds this to the schedule so will repeat the adhoc run the following day at the same time (which can involve it shutdown now 100 PCs in the middle of a working day which is very embarrassing).  We can only use the Daily schedule which works but have to manually advance the start date of the daily task should we wish to skip a day.

Has anyone any ideas? 

-------------------------------------

Added 15-Dec-2011 - Here is a test I have set up to run Monday to Friday using the weekly schedule:

First image shows it running on Wednesday 14-Dec-2011 (correctly), but it has failed to run the next day at the same time - why.

Second image shows summary.

If no one on the forum can assist please advise who I can take this up with at Dell.  Many Thanks
