I am trying to create a scheduled task using PowerShell 5. But I'm getting an error while trying especially with adding DeleteExpiredTaskAfter
to ScheduledTaskSettingsSet
-DeleteExpiredTaskAfter (New-TimeSpan -Seconds 120)
The PowerShell script below:
$taskname = "Test01"
$taskdescription = "Testing"
$taskpath = "\Test"
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'Powershell.exe' -Argument '-NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -command "& D:\Test.ps1 -SqlServer Sql1 -Database UAT -Date 2018-03-01 -Start 07:00:00"'
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Once -At (Get-Date -Month 06 -Year 2018 -Day 21 -Hour 9 -Minute 40 -Second 00)
$setting = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -ExecutionTimeLimit (New-TimeSpan -Day 3) -Hidden -StartWhenAvailable -DeleteExpiredTaskAfter (New-TimeSpan -Seconds 120) -RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable
$principal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -UserId "LOCALSERVICE" -LogonType S4U
function ScheduledTask-Exists($taskname) {
$schedule = New-Object -Com Schedule.Service
$schedule.connect()
$taskFolder = $schedule.GetFolder($taskpath)
$taskExists = $taskFolder.GetTask($taskname) |
Select-Object Name |
Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $taskName }
if (-not $taskExists) {
return $false
}
return $true
}
if ((ScheduledTask-Exists($taskname))) {
Write-Output "$taskname already exists"
} else {
Register-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -TaskPath $taskpath -TaskName $taskname -Description $taskdescription -Settings $setting -Principal $principal -Force
Write-Output "Creating Scheduled Task - $taskName"
}
Error I'm getting:
Register-ScheduledTask : The task XML is missing a required element or attribute. (49,4):EndBoundary: At E:\ARUN\TestScript\AutomateScheduledTask.ps1:33 char:4 + Register-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -TaskPath ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (PS_ScheduledTask:Root/Microsoft/...S_ScheduledTask) [Register-ScheduledTask], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041319,Register-ScheduledTask
I tried adding -Compatibility V1
to New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet
but it didn't work.
if((ScheduledTask-Exists($taskname))){
Write-Output "$taskname already exists"
}
else{
$run = (Get-Date).AddMinutes(2)
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskPath $taskpath -TaskName $taskname -InputObject (
(
New-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -Settings $setting
) | %{ $_.Triggers[0].EndBoundary = $run.AddMinutes(30).ToString('s') ; $_}
)
Write-Output "Creating Scheduled Task - $taskName"
}
Got this script from link stackoverflow answer(2) and modified it, as a work around
