Im attempting to run the following script in sched task
it works perfectly fine outside of it but fails when running from an account that isnt logged in at the time
I have tried the following
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -nologo -file E:\~Scripts\check_service_script\Check_Service.ps1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -nologo -command E:\~Scripts\check_service_script\Check_Service.ps1
and every combination of both.
with highest privileges , without....any ideas?
Ive tried it on a 2k8 and 2k3 server with like results
The script imports a csv file , which contains server names and the domain they are on
it uses get-wmiobject to see if a service is running on the server ,it then sends an email out with results
