To adjust trigger for your needs check ISO_8601 definition. In below example I’ve created task which is run every 1 minute each day. Once the task is created we can proceed with adjusting scheduled task triggers (to be sure that it was created sleep script for 5 seconds) i left pc unplugged, all task settings same as before with conditions unchecked. Register-ScheduledJob -Name $name -Trigger $trigger -ScriptBlock $action so i tested it again and it ran but randomly/incorrectly. Once it is done Register-ScheduledJob will be run which will create scheduled task. $trigger = New-JobTrigger -Daily -at (Get-Date).AddMinutes(2) In next step job trigger will be created which will define how often and when job should start.įor this purpose New-JobTrigger command should be used with proper switches. So let’s automate it!.įirst of all you should define $action scriptblock in which your custom script should be pasted and name of the task. There is a lot of clicking and it’s really boring. Windows admins who created big number of task scheduler jobs know that is not very fascinating job. I tried creating different simple scheduled tasks, but no avail, none of them gets triggered thus not executed. If I right-click the scheduled item and Run it, it executes, and the 'Last Run Time' updates accordingy, and Last Run Result is 0. Let’s talk today a little bit about how to create scheduled task using Powershell. After the reboot Task Sheduler would advance 'Next Run Time', but the script would not trigger and run.
