    Hello,

    I have created a Scheduled Job using Register-ScheduledJob cmdlet. How can I create an eventlog specific trigger from Powershell?

    New-JobTrigger only accepts triggers based on time interval? From GUI its easy.

    Thanks

    Event log triggers are not available in scheduled jobs.  You can use schtasks to define event log tasks.

    PowerShell scheduled jobs are run differently and managed differently.

    When I added Event based trigger via GUI, I get this warning from Powershell.

    WARNING: A PSScheduledJob job source adapter threw an exception with the following message: An unknown trigger type was retur
ned from Task Scheduler for scheduled job definition GC_remove with trigger ID .

    and the job fails. Does this mean what Powershell Scheduled jobs can be only defined based on time triggers?

    thx

    Exporting an already configured task then importing using powershell might work but I haven't tested it.

    Found this page.
