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.

In Windows 11/10, a non-admin user can’t run a scheduled task that requires admin privileges. If you’re using a standard user account, ensure it is part of the local administrator group.

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.

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.
