Love your tutorials and I'm new at this! Can you share how to do a full and incremental backup using PowerShell for simple folder backup? Thank you!

Yet, again Shane. Thanks for your vids. Its thru your vids where I was able to learn powershell for work. Ah, to add though, In the Actions part: I'd suggest to add: ' -command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force" ' in the arguments part since there are times the script wont be able to run because execution policies restrictions.

Thanks Shane for this lovely and simple to understand intro to executing PS script from windows task scheduler. I am completely new to PS scripting so please bear with me. From this video, I noticed that when setting up the "Action" tab, you did not use the syntax "-File" before the path to where your PS1 script (Add arguments (Optional)) is located. Though i have seen other forum and videos specified the use of this. Are you able to explain when you might need to use this please? Also, I am looking for an intro to subject incorporating the task scheduler whereby new files are monitored via PS scripts and send notification via emails on scheduled timetable. Would you have such video in your gallery please? Many thanks|!

I have a question: I created a Task Scheduler that runs a batch file. The batch file kills a process and then uses a "start " command to launch the same application (.EXE). The batch file runs flawlessly if I manually double-click it to make it run. However, when Task Manager runs the batch file, it kills the process but does not start the application.Also, the task is listed as "Running" for about a minute before it comes "Ready" again. Have you seen this before? I am running WIN7. Thanks in advance!

So I have this strange problem with running a Powershell script with a scheduled task. The task will trigger on a 1074 event ID (event ID for shutdown or reboot). If I shutdown the task will run and execute the script. If I reboot the task will run, but after reboot the comment says the task was started but was interrupted by the user. It gives error code 2147943515. Someone any ideas?

Maybe better to get to the point quicker. You were half-way through before you got to the subject of automating the script.
