About this package

Functions for scheduling launching of apps, scripts and other similar activities.

Entrinsec.Powershell.Scheduling

PowerShell module for managing Windows Scheduled Tasks with consistent logging and error handling.

Features

  • Remove-ScheduledTaskIfExists: Safely remove scheduled tasks with automatic fallback to schtasks.exe if ScheduledTasks module is unavailable
  • New-EntrinsecScheduledTask: Create scheduled tasks with common trigger types (Once, Daily, Hourly, AtLogon, AtStartup)
  • Get-EntrinsecScheduledTasks: List scheduled tasks with optional filtering
  • Copy-EntrinsecScheduledTask: Duplicate existing scheduled tasks with optional user/privilege changes

Compatibility

This module automatically detects the available PowerShell environment:

  • PowerShell 5.1+ / PowerShell 7+: Uses native ScheduledTasks cmdlets
  • Older PowerShell or missing ScheduledTasks module: Falls back to schtasks.exe command-line utility for Remove operations

Note: When using -User INTERACTIVE, tasks are created with LogonType Interactive and will run as the current logged-on user.
