Detailed Description

The New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet cmdlet creates an object that contains scheduled task settings. Each scheduled task has one set of task settings. Use this cmdlet to configure options to manage the behavior of the task upon completion, to manage the behavior of the task if a problem occurs, or to manage the behavior of the task if an instance of the task is already running.

You can use the scheduled task settings to register a new scheduled task or update an existing task registration.

Examples

Example 1: Register a scheduled task that uses default task settings

This example registers a scheduled task that uses default task settings.

The first command creates a scheduled task action named Cmd and assigns the ScheduledTaskAction object to the Sta variable.

PS C:\> $Sta = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Cmd"

The second command creates scheduled task settings that use the default settings and assigns the ScheduledTaskSettings object to the Stset variable.

PS C:\> $STSet = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet

The third command registers the scheduled task Task01 to run the task action named Cmd and to use the default task settings.

PS C:\> Register-ScheduledTask Task01 -Action $Sta -Settings $STSet

Example 2: Set the priority of a scheduled task

This example sets the priority of a scheduled task.

The first command creates a scheduled task action named Cmd and assigns the ScheduledTaskAction object to the Sta variable.

PS C:\> $Sta = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Cmd"

The second command creates scheduled task settings that sets a higher priority for the scheduled task, and assigns the ScheduledTaskSettings object to the Stset variable.

PS C:\> $STSet = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -Priority 5

The third command registers the scheduled task Task01 to run the task action named Cmd and to use the task settings that have a priority setting of 9.

PS C:\> Register-ScheduledTask Task01 -Action $Sta -Settings $Stset

Example 3: Set restart settings for a scheduled task

This example sets restart settings for a scheduled task.

The first command creates a scheduled task action named Cmd and assigns the ScheduledTaskAction object to the Sta variable.

PS C:\> $Sta = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Cmd"

The second command creates scheduled task settings that specify that Task Scheduler attempts three restarts of the task at sixty minute intervals. This command assigns the ScheduledTaskSettings object to the Stset variable.

PS C:\> $Stset = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -RestartCount 3 -RestartInterval 60

The third command registers the scheduled task Task01 to run the task action named Cmd and to use the task settings that the ScheduledTaskSettings object defines.

PS C:\> Register-ScheduledTask Task01 -Action $Sta -Settings $Stset

Example 4: Set idle settings for a scheduled task

This example sets idle settings for a scheduled task.

The first command creates a scheduled task action named Cmd and assigns the ScheduledTaskAction object to the Sta variable.

PS C:\> $Sta = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Cmd"

The second command creates scheduled task settings that specify that Task Scheduler runs the task only when the computer is idle for 2 minutes and waits for 2 hours and 30 minutes for an idle condition. This command assigns the ScheduledTaskSettings object to the Stset variable.

PS C:\> $Stset = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -RunOnlyIfIdle -IdleDuration 00:02:00 -IdleWaitTimeout 02:30:00

The third command registers the scheduled task Task01 to run the task action named Cmd and to use the task settings that the ScheduledTaskSettings object defines.

PS C:\> Register-ScheduledTask Task01 -Action $Sta -Settings $Stset

Example 5: Register a scheduled task that runs only when a network is available

This example registers a scheduled task that runs only when a network is available.

The first command creates a scheduled task action named Cmd and assigns the ScheduledTaskAction object to the Sta variable.

PS C:\> $Sta = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Cmd"

The second command creates scheduled task settings that specify that Task Scheduler runs the task only when a network is available. This command assigns the ScheduledTaskSettings object to the Stset variable.

PS C:\> $Stset = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable
