How to run a Windows task in the foreground?

Question

I have a task that is not working properly, and I would like to run it in the foreground so that I can see its progress. My task is a powershell script, and it works fine when I run it manually, but some parts fail when it starts with this task.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Instead, you can try Start-Transcript . This will write all output to a text file.

Answer 2

You did not specify your OS, the exact location of the buttons varies depending on the OS.

For Windows 7/2008 R2:

Double-click the task. Select the "Do not save password" check box in the task window and click "OK." Right-click the task and select run.
