Change the relevant email information at the beginning of the document.
Now open Task Scheduler.
Create a Basic Task. Name it Check Replication. Next.
Set the Trigger to the frequency you want the script to run. Next.
Set the Action to Start A Program. Next.
Enter powershell.exe in the Program box.
Enter c:\checkrep.ps1 in the Add Arguments box.
Enter c:\ in the Start In box. Next.
Open the properties of the Task and on the General tab select “Run whether user is logged in or not” and “Run with the highest privileges”.
******************************************************************
If you receive an error:
“Your script is blocked from executing due to the execution policy.”
You need to set it on the client PC to Unrestricted. You can do that by calling Invoke with
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
within Windows Powershell (x86) app.
When you configure home directory for user (from “Active directory users and computers” – in Windows 2000/2003/2008/2012 domain or “User manager for domains” – in NT4 domain), you should add root share that will contain the user home directory – \\servername\users$\%username%. To allow automatic creation of this home folder, there need to configure correct NTFS and Share permissions on home folder root share.
