"An unexpected error occurred while saving this schedule. See the Altiris log for more information."

In the log information i have this message:

May you have a solution to fix this problem ?  

Can you provide more details or your schedule?  The easiest way would be to find the task you created, right-click on the Schedule and choose Details, then upload a screenshot.

You should have no problem choosing a date/time and setting the task to recur every 1 weeks to happen weekly.  For example, if I wanted every Thursday at 2 a.m., I would select Date 12/2/2010, Time 2:00 repeat every 1 Weeks.

Does this help?  If not, please post a screenshot.

Hello

I want to schedule all sundays at 2h am.

See the capture.

Thanks

You cannot set the time of a task to start in the past.  Instead of November 28, it should start on December 5.  This should solve the problem you're seeing.
