Solved Unregister-ScheduledTask giving error about non-interactive mode

[JaredBusch]

So I have an old scheduled task pushed out that I want to remove, because I am going to replace it.

I pushed it out with via ScreenConnect "Send Command" functionality originally. I think It imported a XML file to create back then.

But I cannot delete it.
@Obsolesce what is my answer? I do not see anything obvious in the docs for Unregister-ScheduedTask

#timeout=300000

Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Weekly Reboot" | Unregister-ScheduledTask

Results in

Exception calling "EndProcessing" with "0" argument(s): "Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode. Read and Prompt 
functionality is not available."

Try adding -Confirm:$false to it

Well that let it run and gave me a different error. Let me not pipe it and just use -TaskName and see what happens.

[JaredBusch]

Nope, that wasn't it.

Giving it the explicit wildcard path seems to break -Confirm?

Try like this:

$task = Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Weekly Reboot"
$task | Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false

That worked for me not so long ago.

This works...

Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Weekly Reboot" -Confirm:$false
