MOVEit Automation stores schedule times using the local timezone of the machine where MOVEit Automation is running. Automate MFT imports every supported schedule as UTC and emits TIMEZONE_ASSUMED_UTC; it does not automatically preserve the MOVEit Automation machine's local timezone.

If the MOVEit Automation machine was not configured to use UTC, the user must:

  1. Open each imported schedule in Automate MFT.
  2. Set the schedule's Time Zone field to the timezone that MOVEit Automation used.
  3. Verify the displayed times, day boundaries, and any repeat windows.
  4. Confirm the task is activated as intended after the schedule correction, because imported tasks have AutoRunEnabled = false.

This is required even when the schedule entity is reused, because the expected timezone must be verified against the source environment.
