Windows makes it possible to schedule PowerShell scripts to run at a predetermined time. The mechanism of choice for automating PowerShell scripts is the Windows Task Scheduler.

An SQL Server-scheduled job can run database commands or it can run Microsoft Windows commands in standard executable program files or in the PowerShell scripting language.

On Windows 10, you can automate tasks with the Task Scheduler, and in this guide, I'll show you the steps to create basic and advanced tasks on your device.

If you want to run Scheduled Task as Administrator in Windows 11/10, this guide will show you how to do this without disabling the UAC prompt.

I have tried running it as a local Administrator as well as a full-fledged domain admin account (this is a domain-joined server). I can run the script within the Task Scheduler manually and it works.
