Scheduler Task issues

[LapidusCreatorium]

Hello,

I am new to AutoIT, and don't know much about it.

So I am asking your help.

I am trying to schedule an application execution after a few minutes or hours after the scheduled task was added.

I use this code.

I have modified it a little to take current computer time:

Local $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")
Local $objWMIService, $objShare, $objInParam, $objOutParams
Local $strComputer = @ComputerName ; "." "localhost"

Local $scheduledprog = @SystemDir & "\file.exe"
Local $time = @HOUR & @MIN   ; 24hr Time: 1:20PM
Local $tzo = "000"   ; Timezone: EST (5 * 60)

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$objShare = $objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")
$objInParam = $objShare.Methods_("Create").inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("Command") = $scheduledprog
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("DaysOfMonth") =  "" ; only for scheduling repeat events
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("DaysOfWeek") = ""   ; only for scheduling repeat events
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("InteractWithDesktop") = False ; False = Run process as System
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("RunRepeatedly") =  False     ; False = Run one time only
$objInParam.Properties_.Item("StartTime") =  "********" & $time &"00.000000+" & $tzo
                                            ; YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.MMMMMM-/+TZO - cant use Year/Month/Day or Seconds
$objOutParams = $objWMIService.ExecMethod("Win32_ScheduledJob", "Create", $objInParam)
ConsoleWrite("Out Parameters: " & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("JobId: " & $objOutParams.JobId & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("ReturnValue: " & $objOutParams.ReturnValue & @CRLF)

Func MyErrFunc()
   Local $HexNumber = Hex($oMyError.number,8)
   ConsoleWrite("Debug:  Intercepted COM Error:  Number = " & $HexNumber & _
        "  Windescription = " & $oMyError.windescription & @LF)
   SetError(1)
Endfunc

The problem is with Daylight Savings - $tzo variable.

The computers are all around the world and Win32_ScheduledJob adds it according to GMT.

I need it to be able to run x minutes after the scheduled task has been added.

I got it working on my computer by setting $tzo according to my time zone, but i have no idea how to make it run to not depend on that.

Can you please help me?

Thank you.

Get the TZ offset and do the math:

#Include <Date.au3>
#include <Array.au3>; Only for _ArrayDisplay()

$avTZ = _Date_Time_GetTimeZoneInformation()
_ArrayDisplay($avTZ, "$avTZ")

MsgBox(64, "TZ Offset", "Your offset from GMT is: " & $avTZ[1] & " minutes")

OH. That simple it was

Thanks a lot.
