Task Scheduler 17:00 GUI via PS 34:03 ChatGPT

Thank you very much for making these! I am trying to get started with PowerShell coming from knowing just a bit of Python and Bash. I did find that the first thing I tried to do in ISE and it worked great - but only in ISE, not regular PowerShell (run as admin). I read it is deprecated and this is a known issue. I am going to try Visual Code Studio per my Boss’s recommendation. It’s too bad, I liked ISE.

Absolutely, glad I could help!

Just a thought from someone new to PS would it not have been easier to just do this in the task Scheduler for the first example?

[@PowerShellEngineer]

That's a good point; also, Scheduled Jobs are not supported in PowerShell 7 (scheduled tasks are). I'm too used to operating in the shell directly though 🤣

An even better way is to use WAC (Windows Admin Center) which uses Winrm for remote execution. It is GUI based, servers can be managed remotely from a client machine. Poweshell based cmdlets truly help when you are using a server core edition where GUI is absent.
