DESCRIPTION


The New-ScheduledTaskAction cmdlet creates an object that contains the definition of a scheduled task action. A scheduled task action represents a command that a task
executes when Task Scheduler runs the task. You can use a task action definition to register a new scheduled task or update an existing task registration.


A task can have a single action or a maximum of 32 actions. When you specify multiple actions, Task Scheduler executes the actions sequentially. The Task Scheduler se
rvice controls tasks activation, and it hosts the tasks that it starts.
