I'd like to take my tasks on a non-clustered server, and import them as clustered tasks on a new cluster that has been built and tested.
Here's what I have tried:
cls $xmlFilename="i:\Scripts\ImportScheduledTasks\CleaupMessageLog.xml" $xmlContents = get-content $xmlFilename Register-ClusteredScheduledTask -TaskName "TestXMLTask" -TaskType AnyNode -Xml $xmlContents The XML imports okay into the Windows Task Scheduler, but then it is not a "Clustered" task.
Here is the error I get when I run the above code:
Register-ClusteredScheduledTask : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Xml'. Cannot convert value to type System.String. At C:\Users\nwalters\Documents\TestWebSampleCode4FromXML.ps1:4 char:80 + Register-ClusteredScheduledTask -TaskName "TestXMLTask" -TaskType AnyNode -Xml $ ... + ~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Register-ClusteredScheduledTask], ParameterBindingArgumen tTransformationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Register-ClusteredScheduledTask Thinking that it wants an XML Doc, I also tried this:
cls $xmlFilename="i:\Scripts\ImportScheduledTasks\CleaupMessageLogUTF8.xml" $xmlContents = get-content $xmlFilename $xmlDoc = [xml] (get-content $xmlFilename) $test = $xmlDoc.OuterXml #Write-Host $test Register-ClusteredScheduledTask -TaskName "TestXMLTask" -TaskType AnyNode -Xml $xmlDoc I open the file, changed UTF16 to UTF8 and resaved it, shut the different filename from the first example.
Error:
Register-ClusteredScheduledTask : The task XML is malformed.
