I have a problem with a task in Windows Task Scheduler on Windows Server 2008 R2 (German):
A task has multiple (here: two) time based triggers. The first trigger is of the weekly type (a fixed time every friday), the second trigger is a once-only trigger with a date on the wednesday before the next friday.
Why is the next execution time on the next friday, even though the second trigger specifies the wednesday before that?
I tried searching for reference material, but MSDN and Technet didn't provide any useful information and I didn't find an answer here, too.
Did I miss anything? Is it behaving as intended and are my expectations wrong? How do I trigger a task for an off-the-regular-schedule-execution, then?

P.S. You should search for bugs in english from time to time ;)
