quest powershell : how do you run scheduled task?

Question

How do you run a scheduled task with Quest powershell snap in?

Answer 1

You would schedule PowerShell.exe, and use one of its command-line parameters to specify the script to run. At the start of that script, add:

Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement

That will load the snapin for that script, and then execute whatever else is in the script.

(BTW, this would be the case for any script that needs one or more extra snapins.)

Answer 2

Another option would be to create a console file (using Export-Console - which will create a *.psc1 ) and adding -PSConsoleFile YourConsole.psc1 to your powershell.exe command line.
