Notes on scheduling a PowerShell script with Windows Task Scheduler
Raw
Schedule-PowerShell-Script.txt
The program to run is: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe (or wherever the PS executable is on your system)
The arguments are: -NoProfile -File Run-ScheduledScript.ps1
Run-ScheduledScript is where you redirect all your output streams to a log file using the '*>' PowerShell redirect operator
(or some variant thereof).
Maybe "*>&1" to merge everything to the SUCCESS stream, followed by "| Out-File -width 200 -encoding oem" or something equally creative.
