Scheduling Diagnostics
Instead of executing the diagnostic tests immediately, you can also schedule tests to run automatically at a
specified time and date.
NOTE: The date and time you enter when scheduling diagnostics are validated against the date and time on the system
running Server Administrator.
NOTE: Any previously scheduled tasks, hardware changes history, or result history from Server Administrator 1.8 or
earlier will not be preserved when Diagnostic Service is upgraded from an earlier release to the current release.
