Powershell Scheduled Task Stuck Running

Question

I am having problems running powershell script on scheduled tasks. He is stuck in Running, although Transcript has left the last line of "Done!" and it looks like he did exactly what I want. What am I missing?

When running it from Runon Windows, this also seems fine:powershell -file "D:\_temp\copy_bat\copy_one_reprint_folder.ps1"

The syntax in the task scheduler is:

• Full privilege launch
• Run user who is logged in or not
• Action, program start powershell.exe
  • -file "D:\_temp\copy_bat\copy_one_reprint_folder.ps1"

If necessary, please see the code below.

# PowerShell RePRINT copy first folder, sorted on lastModified
function timestamp
{
    $ts = Get-Date -format s
    return $ts
}

$fromDirectory = "D:\_temp\copy_bat"
$toDirectory = "D:\_temp\in_dummy"
$extractGUIDdir = ""
$docTypeDir = ""
