c# - ArgumentOutOfRangeException (The UTC time represented when the offset is applied must be between year 0 and 10,000.) with OData / SC Orchestrator -

i'm writing small web interface goes on front of system center orchestrator setup. supposed hit runbook , data - part largely unimportant.

the code attempting start runbook job data using sample code (and subbing in requirements) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh921685.aspx

the lines have changed references own orchestrator, runbook guid, , runbook parameters.

this line throws exception in title:

context.savechanges(); 

which has stack trace showing error seems originating somewhere in odata realm of things beyond code:

i have looked @ the utc time represented when offset applied must between year 0 , 10,000. parameter name: offset , utc time represented when offset applied must between year 0 , 10,000 error , looks suspiciously error (especially latter) calls on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2346777 hotfix provided ms doesn't apply windows 10 (my workstation) or windows 2012 r2 (the webserver).

i reluctant change either timezone (utc+10) or server's test before seeing if has ideas or has encountered before.

i have powershell scripts quite capable of generating these jobs (although can't use service references have generate request manually). i'm not inclined believe @ fault except clr.

bottom line question: has encountered , fixed it?

adding these 2 lines alleviate issue:

job.creationtime = datetime.now; job.lastmodifiedtime = datetime.now; 

or, of course, reasonably valid datetime value.

so seems when using sample code referred in question empty job object doesn't populate creationtime or lastmodifiedtime properties, , result passes through. when times used in calculation result in timespan < 0 or > 10,000 years.
