Creating a Scheduled Task to Automate the Script

In Windows Server, open MS PowerShell IDE

Perform the following commands:

Define the Scheduled Task

$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -Argument “-NonInteractive -NoLogo -NoProfile -File C:\ ITT430Copy.ps1 -SourcePath C:\ITT430-Files* -DestinationPath \\ITT430-SV1\ITT430-Storage"

Set Schedule Trigger (time to execute)

$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Once -At '12AM' -RepetitionInterval (New-TimeSpan -minutes 15) -RepetitionDuration (New-Timespan -hour 1000)

Place Scheduled Task and Trigger into memory

$Task = New-ScheduledTask -Action $Action -Trigger $Trigger -Settings (New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet)

Register the Scheduled Task into System Scheduler

$Task | Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName 'File Transfer AutoSync' -User 'DomainAdmin' -Password 'password'
