Hello Can anyone point out what is wrong with my powershell not executed from Task Scheduler.
Though manual execution works. Here is the content of the script:

However, in Task Scheduler it does not work even though the history says successful

below is the General Tab in Scheduler

See if this helps:

At the part where it suggests adding the argument "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass", you may actually need more than that. I use "-nologo -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle hidden -file" when I execute it from a command line, which looks something like:

[tab]C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -nologo -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle hidden -file "C:\Folder\MyScript.ps1"


The parameter "-windowstyle hidden" is completely optional, especially if you're running it on a server.

Confirm cdogg suggestion though we've "got away" with just powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "j:.........\script.ps1" Script parameters can also be passed in via the Add Arguments option.
Also make sure any account passwords are correct as it doesnt seem to advise if incorrect
