Can any one please help me letting me know the Powershell command to create a folder in Task scheduler?
I have created the script to create task in separate folder but if the folder is not there I need to create one.
Cannot find any command even after Googling a lot.
It will be great if any one can help me out.
Use schtasks.exe. Maybe an answer is in this topic: SchTasks.exe to create a task folder
schtasks /create /xml "MyTask.xml" /tn "My Task Folder\My New Task"

I developed a console app and scheduled it to run on Mon-Friday at 9:AM using windows task scheduler, it works fine.
But I was asked to write Powershell scripts or command-line scripts for deployment, like the script should copy the "Release" folder to the server1(deployment env like dev, test or staging or prod) and schedule it in server1's schedule task. Also I have to set "Start in(optional)".
I don't know anything about command-line and PS scripts. All it should do is create the windows schedule task just like the way I did using UI.
If I understand the question correctly you're just trying to create a scheduled task using powershell?
If so try starting here:

I had a requirement to schedule an exe, this scheduled task should run every day Mon to Fri at desired time. I never wrote any batch files in last 15 years of my career :), took it up as it came in my way from my manager. Thanks to him or else I would have not known in this new world.

SchTasks /Create /RU "system" /Sc WEEKLY /D MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI /TN "Leads" /TR "C:/Some.exe" /ST 09:00
I have one selenium webdriver script and another powershell script.
I want to configure both scripts to run on each thursday at 6 pm. How to achieve that.
Create a Windows Scheduled task to run a PowerShell script.
Here is the step by step guide on how to do that.

Then just schedule the script according to your timelines.
If you want to configure the scheduled task also using PS, then here is my blog to help you out on that.

Alternative,
Creation of Task Scheduler Script using cmdlets:
powershell create scheduled-tasks
Hope it helps.
Not sure about Selenium (don't know what that is), but PowerShell scripts can be scheduled using the regular Windows Task Scheduler.
Scheduled tasks can be manually created using the Windows Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc), or via the command-line using schtasks.exe, e.g.:
schtasks.exe /Create /sc weekly /d THU /st 18:00 /tn MyPowerShellJob /tr "%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -file d:\MyScript.ps1 \"hello world\" foo" /ru JohnDoe /rp
I have a script which I have to run frequently, but the exact moment is user-driven so I cannot use a scheduled task etc.
This script has to run with Admin-privileges (my account already has admin rights) so I cannot simply launch the script.
Is there anye way to "self-elevate" this script?
very simple example:
ECHO "I would like to have admin rights to recycle the app-pool"
pause
There is no way of self-elevation. But you are quite close to the solution. Create a task with the scheduler and then trigger it with another bat file like this:
SCHTASKS /U "user name" /P "password" /TN "Yourtaskname"
Or you can give a normal user the rights to run a task and skip /U "user name" /P "password".
Hopefully a nice simple question but I haven't been able to find the solution online. How do I enable the option Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed via a command line schtasks /create.
The documentation does not seem to show this option as a command line option and neither does the documentation when using schtasts /create /?.
Over in the technet forums, this recommendation was posted:
As a suggestion, when I've come across missing parameters for this
I've made a task manually with the properties I want, exported to XML
and then I create the task with something like this: schtasks /create
/TN "My New Task Name" /xml "C:\TEMP\My Saved Task.xml" /RU
DOMAIN\username /RP password
I have seen various articles on how to schedule a Powershell script, but I have not see much of the reverse. I need to call a manual task in Task Scheduler from my PowerShell script. I am using Powershell 2.0. Can anyone show me how to do this? Thanks.
The simplest way may be to use schtasks.exe
& schtasks.exe /Run /TN <Name of Scheduled Task>
NOTE -- on my Windows 8.1 preview with PowerShell 4.0 there is a Start-ScheduledTask cmdlet.
