DESCRIPTION

The New-ScheduledTaskTrigger cmdlet creates and returns a new scheduled task trigger object.

You can use a time-based trigger or an event-based trigger to start a task. Time-based triggers include starting a

task at a specific time or starting a task multiple times on a daily or weekly schedule. Event-based triggers

include starting a task when the system starts up or when a user logs on to the computer. Each task can contain one or more triggers, which means there are many ways that you can start a task. If a task has multiple triggers, Task Scheduler starts the task when any of the triggers occur.
