Nice, clear explanation from the primalscript folks: http://www.sapien.com/blog/2006/12/20/schedule-hidden-powershell-tasks/
Bottom line as below… “wrap it in older scripting technology” From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of John J.

Powershell is the future they said...

I am running a script regularly to set some user settings, if it sees a particular piece of hardware present on the system. I’ve tried the “–WindowStyle Hidden” and the “-NonInteractive” switches and they do not hide the powershell dialog. A blank, blue window, is shown. I’d really rather not have to wrap it inside a batch or vbscript. This is a script running on Win8.1 machines, so v4 is available.
