I needed to schedule a SharePoint powershell script. This is how I managed to do this. This blog explained the basic steps. http://blog.avtex.com/2012/01/10/scheduling-powershell-scripts-with-sharepoint-2010/
Start Task Scheduler
Start –> Administrative Tools –> Task Scheduler
Action –> Create Task
I needeed to have the schedule run weather the user was logged in or not. Also I need to change the user running the script.
Switch to the action tab –> New Action, Choose “Start a program”
In program script
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Add arguments
-psconsolefile "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\POWERSHELL\Registration\psconsole.psc1" -command "Path to your script"
When done add an appropriate Trigger to schedule your task. Here I have added a trigger to run daily
DONE Combined with my previous blog "Using powershell to send emails" his can be combined to a good alert and simple mechanism.
