Second reboot fails if timezone changes

[spuder]

Scenario

Hypervisor sets timezone to UTC Chef cookbook joins to domain VM reboots On reboot, group policy is applied, changing time zone to Eastern cookbook scheduled task will run once, but not the second time

Cause

Under advanced settings, the task sometimes gets the check box "Activate" Since the Activate is in UTC time, the task won't run until several hours in the future. Microsoft seems to think that run at 'reboot' really means ' run at reboot and after x time'

Possible solutions

• powershell script to clear activate setting.
• add feature to chef windows task support to clear this setting
• refresh the time before creating scheduled task
• manually set the start time to some time guaranteed to be in the past
