Join me tomorrow when I will talk about more cool Windows PowerShell 3.0 stuff. Under the Scheduled Jobs node, I find a folder for each Windows PowerShell scheduled job as shown in the following image. To find the Windows PowerShell scheduled jobs, navigate to the following node in the Task Scheduler: Task Scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\Scheduled Jobs. To look at the scheduled job, open the Task Scheduler MMC by typing the following command. Trigger $dailyTrigger -ScheduledJobOption $option Look at the scheduled job Register-ScheduledJob -Name UpdateHelp -ScriptBlock ` Finally I supply the trigger and the options I stored previously in variables. Then I specify my command as a ScriptBlock. (Yes, you use Register-ScheduledJob to register the Windows PowerShell scheduled job.) When I register the scheduled job, I first provide a decent name for the job.
Now it is time to register the Windows PowerShell scheduled job. $option = New-ScheduledJobOption -StartIfOnBattery –StartIfIdle Register the scheduled job In addition, I want to start the job only if the laptop is idle (for example, if I am actively writing a Windows PowerShell script, I do not want the laptop to begin the process of downloading and installing new Windows PowerShell Help.) When creating the scheduled job options, I store the resulting object to a variable that I will use when I create the actual scheduled job. I want the job to run even if the computer is running on battery (by default, the job will not run if on battery). The two options that I want to specify are StartIfOnBattery and StartIfIdle. Next, to specify options for the Windows PowerShell scheduled job, I use the New-ScheduledJobOption cmdlet. $dailyTrigger = New-JobTrigger -Daily -At “2:00 PM” Create options for the scheduled job Here is the command I used to create the job trigger. After I create the new job trigger, I need to store the returned job trigger in a variable so I can supply it to the Register-ScheduledJob cmdlet. Because I want to do this every day, it is easy-I use the Daily parameter and specify a specific time. Create a triggerįirst, I decided I wanted to create a trigger-something that will kick off my Windows PowerShell scheduled job. I used three steps to create a Windows PowerShell scheduled job (although you do not need to perform all three steps if you do not want or need to do so).

I created a scheduled job to update Help for me.
This is where Windows PowerShell scheduled jobs come into play. The problem is that I sometimes forget to do this. Therefore, it is important to update the Help on a regular basis. In fact, as we speak, Help is being updated. This enables Help to update to the latest content easily. One of the cool new features of Windows PowerShell is the updatable Help. So you should stand by to register to ensure a seat.

Registration opens soon, and it will sell out (as did the Columbus and the Charlotte Windows PowerShell Saturday events). In fact, all of us will attend the Atlanta Windows PowerShell Saturday event. We are also looking forward to Windows PowerShell Saturday in Atlanta on October 27, 2012. In all sincerity, if it were not for these three completely awesome people, Windows PowerShell Saturday in Charlotte would not have happened. Frankly, it is an awful lot of work to put on a Windows PowerShell Saturday event, and it would not have been possible without Windows PowerShell Charlotte User Group president (and Windows PowerShell MVP), Jim Christopher Windows PowerShell Charlotte user member, Brian Wilhite and the Scripting Wife. Well, the Scripting Wife and I are about to straighten up the scripting house after the Windows PowerShell Saturday luau we had on Friday and the scripting slumber party we had over the weekend. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.
