I‘m running a Windows PC in an environment with quite some power failures. It therefore needs to send me an email every time it has rebooted.
I have implemented a task in the task scheduler that is triggered by system start.
This task executes a Powershell script that includes a „Send-MailMessage“ instruction.
This in principle works well e.g. after a Windows update triggered reboot. However if there is a power failure and the network infrastructure takes longer to recover than booting up the PC I don‘t get any email. Even I have set in the settings of my task scheduler task the switch that the task should be repeated every 5 minutes in case that it fails, I don‘t get any email.
My question is: how is the failure of an instruction like „Send-MailMessage“ within a Powershell script passed to the Task Scheduler that obviously not seem to start the task a second or third time.

How can I create a task in Windows task scheduler that prevents (automatic) system reboots while it is running? I want the task to finish before any restarts are performed.

I have a scheduled task that sends a GMail with a subject, a body, and a file in it using an app called mailsend.-go.

With the below PowerShell scripts, I am able to export all the scheduled task data in csv format but it does not include the task history data. I want to include ‘Task Triggered on Scheduler’ and ‘Task Completed’ which is available in task history.

I have an application that is set to run on user logon via a task scheduler job. The job is created via a Powershell script that also copies the application to a directory on the users machine, along with the configuration ini file and finally a powershell script. The scripts purpose is to launch the application.
The job actions are to call the Powershell script that launces the app.
