I was looking at Window task scheduler to schedule my script to run each hour. The script will do some checks and will send an email .

I did not find options to schedule it for each 1 hour. I only found for every day, daily, weekly and so on.

Solution

  • Task scheduler does show the option to configure hourly trigger as shown below.

    Another option you have is to run your PowerShell script as a Service and add the logic in your PowerShell script to trigger your main code once every hour.
