Dear ManageEngine Support Team,

I am reaching out to inquire about the scheduling capabilities for Automations in ADManager Plus, or to submit this as a Feature Request if it is not currently supported natively.

The Requirement: We need the ability to schedule an automation to run at recurring intervals (e.g., every X minutes or hours) strictly within a defined daily time window and on specific days of the week.

Example Scenario: We would like an automation to execute every 5 minutes, but only between 08:00 AM and 08:00 PM, from Monday to Friday.

Current Limitation: Currently, the scheduling interface forces us to choose between running a task continuously 24/7 (if we use the Hourly frequency) or running it at a single fixed time per day (if we use the Weekly/Daily frequency).

Business Impact: Having a "Time Window" limitation combined with a recurring interval would prevent the automation from running unnecessarily during nights and weekends. This would significantly reduce server resource consumption, avoid unnecessary query loads on our Domain Controllers, and prevent wasting API calls to Entra ID during non-business hours.

Could you please confirm if there is a native way to configure this exact scheduling behavior within the UI? If not, please consider this a formal feature request for future releases.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Rodrigo Morato
