Send Outlook Task Reminder Using Powershell - powershell

Question

I wish to send an email outlook task with reminder by using powershell, is that possible? The task similar as image below:
Is powershell built in function able to create this task instead of create a normal email using "new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage"? Any sample code/documentation to refer?

No, that is not what the does. That is a .Net class as documented here.
Mail​Message Class
To use PowerShell with Outlook, you have to use the Outlook Object Model (DCOM). There are lots of examples of using PowerShell with Outlook all over the web. Doing a search will bring those up for you.
Here is just one example of dealing with Outlook Tasks with a few other references for you.

## Add-OutlookTask.ps1
## Add a task to the Outlook Tasks list
param( $description = $(throw "Please specify a description"), $category, [switch] $force )
## Create our Outlook and housekeeping variables.
## Note: If you don't have the Outlook wrappers, you'll need
## the commented-out constants instead
$olTaskItem = "olTaskItem"
$olFolderTasks = "olFolderTasks"
#$olTaskItem = 3
#$olFolderTasks = 13
$outlook = New-Object -Com Outlook.Application
$task = $outlook.Application.CreateItem($olTaskItem)
$hasError = $false
## Assign the subject
$task.Subject = $description
## If they specify a category, then assign it as well.
if($category)
{
if(-not $force)
{
## Check that it matches one of their already-existing categories, but only
## if they haven't specified the -Force parameter.
$mapi = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$items = $mapi.GetDefaultFolder($olFolderTasks).Items
$uniqueCategories = $items | Sort -Unique Categories | % { $_.Categories }
if($uniqueCategories -notcontains $category)
{
$OFS = ", "
$errorMessage = "Category $category does not exist. Valid categories are: $uniqueCategories. " +
"Specify the -Force parameter to override this message in the future."
Write-Error $errorMessage
$hasError = $true
}
}
$task.Categories = $category
}
## Save the item if this didn't cause an error, and clean up.
if(-not $hasError) { $task.Save() }
$outlook = $null
