ESET Mail Security for Exchange 6.2 Scheduling times are skewed by time zone

[AbandonAllHope 0]

When using the ESET GUI to schedule DB scans the start times are skewed by 6 hours.  I believe the Scheduler is using UTC and not applying the servers time zone of -6:00 Central Time.   

 

Example:

Create a scheduling daily DB scan for 9:00PM in the GUI and look at the list of schedule tasks in ESET reports the start time as 3:00PM.  And sure enough the scan starts at 3:00PM.  So to scan at 9:00PM I have to schedule a 2:00AM scan.

 

The only reason I ran across the issue was slowness complaints due to nightly scans running during business hours because of the time skew.

 

This looks like a time zone issue with ESET's scheduling interface.
