PowerShell doens't run correctly from scheduled task
Hello - We have a PowerShell script that modifies data and then renames the file. When we run this script manually it works as expected. When we run it as a scheduled task, the data is not modified...
- Adding a Start-Transcript c:\temp\log.txt at the top and a Stop-Transcript at the bottom doesn't tell you anything afterward in the log.txt file?

When I run the scrip manually it creates the log file... when I run it in scheduled task.... does not create the file.... BUT the script changes the csv file name
- And what is in the log file? Are you sure that the script that you edited (Adding the Transcript lines) is the one being used?
- thank you for the responses. I was actually able to get it to work correctly by removing spaces in the file name and changing Actions:
Program/script: Powerschell.exe
Add Arguments: ./namenospaces.ps1
Start in: e:\pathtofile (e is local data drive)
Script runs, Log file that was was recommended by Harm Veenstra is created, data in the csv file is updated.!- Nice to hear that it worked!
