of Defense Centers. You must recreate the recurring task schedule on a newly activated Defense Center
when it changes from inactive to active.
Note that the time displayed on most pages on the web interface is the local time, which is determined
by using the time zone you specify in your local configuration. Further, the Defense Center automatically
adjusts its local time display for daylight saving time (DST), where appropriate. However, recurring
tasks that span the transition dates from DST to standard time and back do not adjust for the transition.
That is, if you create a task scheduled for 2:00 AM during standard time, it will run at 3:00 AM during
DST. Similarly, if you create a task scheduled for 2:00 AM during DST, it will run at 1:00 AM during
standard time.
