I was wondering if anyone had/has success with setting policies to run between specific hours. See example of what I mean in this screen shot:

Basically, I want the policy to run once a day between 5 am and 7 am. Does this work this way? Or is there a better way to do this?

A completely different management system I used in the past would ignore a similar setting if it was set this way (starting time after the beginning time), so I haven't tried it yet with JAMF.

Thanks in advance.

We use this for a few things (a couple API scripts), and it works pretty well. Test it before you lob it out into production of course.

Thank you for the encouraging response. I tested this with a test script yesterday and it did seem to work. Now I am testing this with the real script on a few test computers. I'll post back if it works.

+1 for having had success with this setting when caching larger packages down during overnight hours only.
