IISLogsCleaner

2. New-ScheduledScript.ps1 - this is the script to create a Scheduled Task (can be used to automate the process on multiple computers if PS Remoting is enabled)

USAGE:

1. Login to server using RDP or local console
2. Create restore point or snapshot if applicable (No snapshots on DC's or other data replication based servers such as Exchange/SQL/etc)
3. Copy scripts to c:\scripts
4. Open PowerShell
5. Run script command

PS C:\Scripts> .\New-ScheduledScript.ps1 -ScriptFilePath C:\scripts\IISLogsCleaner.ps1 -LocalScriptFolderPath 'C:\' -TaskTriggerOptions @{'Daily' = $true; 'At' = '3Am'} -TaskName 'IISLogsCleaner' -TaskRunAsUser 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' -Computername localhost

Note:

• you can change -ComputerName to a remote computer if PowerShell Remoting is enabled on the server.
• RunAsUser is using SYSTEM account, no password is required as the system is running this locally. (Password variables were commented out of the script)
