Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or SQL 2008 R2 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or SQL 2008 R2 fix release
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
-
You create a SQL Server Agent job.
-
You create a recurring schedule to make the job run every hour on the last day of every week or month.
-
The job begins to run correctly on the scheduled day.
In this scenario, the SQL Server Agent service calculates an incorrect NEXT_RUN_TIME value for the job. Therefore, the job does not always run at the correct times.
For example, the job runs correctly for eleven hours on the last day of the first month. However, the next run time is calculated to be one month from the last run time, instead of one hour from the last run time.
Cause
This issue occurs because an error causes a date value to be changed unexpectedly. The date value is used to calculate the NEXT_RUN_TIME value.
