I am in administrative group and have a powershell script that is scheduled as a Basic Task to run for the first time in Win 7 using Task Scheduler.
In Task Scheduler, the Status says it is running. If I run it manually, it would take ~30 minutes.
However, while the Task Scheduler say it is running, the Task manager has nothing from running powershell script at all.

I have a periodic task that uses a crontab to run every day at 1:01 AM using
run_every = crontab(hour=1, minute=1)
Once I get my server up and running, is that enough to trigger the task to run once a day? Or do I also need to use a database scheduler?
Yes. It should be enough as Celery beat has own state file that is enough to run everything as you require.
I want to run a powershell script whenever the system reboots. What is the trigger?
you are looking for the trigger "At Startup"
I have some CMD/ Powershell scripts which may be run from the command line or as a scheduled task.
When in scheduled task, some options may not be available (eg. GUI) and some need to be used differently (eg. error logging to file/ event log instead of screen).
Is there a way to find if the script is currently running as a scheduled task and the name of the scheduled task (for logging purpose)?
If needed, I can use advanced programming tools such ad .NET, C#, etc.
I have a scheduled job to run the following command:
copy 'C:\Users\tdjeilati\Desktop\RDP.rdg' '\\fil03\Dept_1Z\Public\my'
This copies a file to a remote server.
I have a job trigger -AtLogon.
When I log in to my PC, it runs the job.
When I retrieve that job with receive-job, I get the job got an an access is denied error:
But then I run the job by hand, and it works correctly! What gives?
I don't understand why it fails when running from the job trigger but works when I run it manually in powershell. I can only assume that the environment/permissions are different.
EDIT: One thing I noticed is that the job that runs from the jobtrigger doesn't have any childJobs, but the job that I start from command line has child jobs. Why should there be a difference?
The scheduled task may not be running under your user account. This could explain why it works when you manually start the job.
Verify that the task is running as a user with rights to the file and the remote share.
I have written a PowerShell script that I want to run in a daily basis. I want now to create an alert for the same in the system.
But since this needs to be done in not only my computer but also in my teammates' computers (around 10 computers) I was thinking whether it is possible to write a script that when it runs, it automatically schedules a task in the system.
