When you're trying to initiate a batch file (whether from the task scheduler or otherwise), you don't do it with powershell. &nbsp;Your scheduled task only needs the batch file as the action (i.e. &quot;F:\purple_top\upload.bat&quot;<wbr />), nothing else. &nbsp;The fact that your batch file runs a powershell command inside of itself has no impact on this.

Since I have a power shell script in the batch file, I am having a problem. The scheduled task runs but does not do what the script is supposed to do. Its does not transfers the file to the server location. I thinks it &nbsp;because of windows security policy that power shell has issue with. I want to by pass that security before the batch file come to the powershell.exe line.

power shell script in a batch file- not running on windows 7 professional when set as schedule task

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
