Hi guys,
I've created a script to run in SCCM. It runs fine when running it without schedule. As soon as I schedule it to run at a specific time, it fails, even though in the status it says successful.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I'm guessing, so I want clarification. When you say "run a script with a schedule", you mean...
from the Scripts node, you have a script. and when your right-click on a device, and manually select to run that script 'now' (no schedule), it works. but if you use the "schedule" and input a specific time, very, VERY carefully setting that time to reflect the UTC time as translated to what you want it to be... it doesn't run?
What means to you "it doesn't run" when you do that? Is there local logging within that script, that doesn't log, or you mean when you look at Monitoring, Script Status, there is nothing listed for that (UTC adjusted) time?

2024-03-21T08:25:25.7066667+00:00 Hi Garth, thank you for your reply. It just says script was successful but it doesn't do anything. However, if I run the script without a scheduled time, it works straight away.

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
I did a test in my environment, whether run it with or without schedule, it will success.
I think the issue is related to your script. Are we sure the second run will be successful? Have we tried running the script manually multiple times?
