I have tried your tips. with { without} nothing seems to work; however, the log says the script processed successfully. I tried with plan .bat files first that worked beautifully while the servers were 2003 servers sp2... I could really use a nudge! Both the .bat and the .ps1 files work when I manually start them- just not from within task scheduler.

I'll have to download it and give it a try sometime soon. I'm sure it'll prove useful to others. :) Cheers, Simon Hi Rashid,

When searching the web I noticed that a lot of people had struggled with this and so I decided to write this post to explain how I managed it. The scheduled task will ‘run whether the user is logged on or not’. You can schedule a PowerShell script using task scheduler which will run automatically on a given time. http://blog.pointbeyond.com/2010/04/23/run-powershell-script-using-windows-server-2008-task-scheduler/ I needed to setup a scheduled task that ran some PowerShell script in Windows Server 2008.

I read the article and I noticed what I had left out... The full path to the script I had used './' in a bat file. Thanks for writing the article. It helped me.
