Description
This script adds a new scheduled task for an Exchange Server 2013 environment in a new task scheduler group, “Exchange“.
When providing a username and password, the scheduled task will be configured to “Run whether user is logged on or not“.
When a username and password are provided, the Register-ScheduledTask cmdlet verifies the login credentials and will fail, if the credentials provided (username/password) are not valid.
Note: The cmdlet Register-ScheduledTask consumes the user password in clear text.
