This blog contains a script which can be run to set schedule a task with PowerShell that also runs a PowerShell script. We create 5 tasks using this script when we install SharePoint 2010.
function CreateTask
{
#Change below variables
$userdomain = “Domain name”
$username = “User Account that has sufficient rights”
$TaskName = “My Task”
$ScriptLocation = “C:\scripts\MyScript.ps1″
#You don’t have to change below variables
$TaskPassword = Read-Host “Please enter the password for $userdomain\$username” -AsSecureString
$TaskPassword = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($TaskPassword))
schtasks /create /tn $TaskName /tr “$env:windir\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noninteractive -file $locationBackup” /sc daily /st <span style="color: #ff0000;">02:00</span>/ru $userdomain\$username /rp $TaskPassword /RL Highest| Out-Null
}
CreateTask
Keep in mind that you have to change the time that the task will run on.
