Extend task scheduler

Maarten Schuit

We’d like to be able to schedule tasks to run once a month. Right now, the scheduler only supports weekly schedules, which makes it hard to set up some of our recurring jobs.

Adding a monthly option would be really helpful.

Add an option to the task schedules to schedule tasks monthly. Including specifying which day of the month and may stuff like "third tuesday" or such.

Also with a selection of which months to include so we can do e.g. quarterly schedules.

Maarten Schuit Thanks for the feedback. At the moment this request has a low priority on our side.

As a possible workaround, you could set up a weekly schedule and add a small check in your PowerShell script to determine whether it’s the first Monday of the month (or the first Tuesday, for example). If it’s not, the script can simply exit and skip the rest of the logic. Does this works for you?

Annually, monthly and quarterly scheduling would be great from a security and auditing point of view. You can design your schedule to integrate with your security framework/controls.

The builtin Task Scheduler from Microsoft seems like a good example.

This would be great to have.

I can only agree on this, there are some task that need to run each month.
