Powershell output in Email is Possible

I need .bat because i will schedule this job in Windows Scheduler

If you are using Task Scheduler, then you call powershell.exe and run the ps1 script as an option of the command. Just make sure you run it as an administrator.

You don't need BAT for that.

@tim_g This script in Powershell is good.How to call this from .Bat ?
I am in start command but the powershell closes automatically! Any suggestion here

Batch files are "deprecated", don't use an old approach to do new things.

I'm confused. What's the question? Just use PowerShell instead of BATCH. This is the purpose of PowerShell.

Here is a script I made to set up a scheduled task to either launch a PowerShell script, or a batch file.

Comment out the $action line that you do NOT want to use. The below script will create a scheduled task that launches a PowerShell script called psScript.ps1.

Note that you must execute these lines in an elevated PowerShell window.

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator

$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe' -Argument "-ExecutionPolicy bypass -NonInteractive -NoLogo -NoProfile -File '\\server\path\to\psScript.ps1'"
# $action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute '\\server\path\to\batchFile.bat'
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtLogon
$principal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -GroupId "BUILTIN\Administrators" -RunLevel Highest
$settings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet
$task = New-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -Principal $principal -Settings $settings
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "kickoff" -InputObject $task

If you choose to launch the PowerShell script via a batch file, here's what you need to have in your .bat file:

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -File "\\server\path\to\psScript.ps1"
