vCheck for Vmware scheduling with task scheduler in windows 2016

[rachappachalmi]

Hi Experts,

need your help....

I am able to run the vCheck script manually and i get the report but not able to schedule in windows scheduler, below are parameter I configured with task scheduler.

Action : Start a program
Program/Script : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Add argument : ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “E:\Rachappa\OMSR_A1_App\Test\vCheck-vSphere-master\vCheck.ps1"

Can somebody help me configure this vCheck with task scheduler or batch file ?

Since you also cross-posted this in the VMTN PowerCLI Community, I know the issue was primarily due to a lack of documentation.

I'll try to add this to the documentation for v7 and include an example.

I have exact same problem.

I solved the problem with a batch file. Here's what I have done:
Created a batch file named "Start-vCheck.bat". In this file I have the following commands:
cd "%~dp0"
start powershell -noexit -Command "cd 'C:\vCheck'"
start powerShell -NoExit -Command ".\vCheck.ps1"

In task scheduler:
I used a service account (this user does not exists on vcenter, my vcenter is not ad integrated)
Task runs with highest priviledge of course
In Action Page:
Program/Script: C:\vCheck\Start-vCheck.bat
Start in (optional): C:\vCheck (it says optional but if I dont enter the path it does not work)

If someone needs, try the way I did, it works great.
