Windows Task Scheduler starts with parameter Auto-modification

After the Windows Task Scheduler is established, manual operation can be successful, but the scheduled task will not run successfully, the search network, originally from the parameter is not configured, the English name of this parameter is start-in. It guarantees that the workingdirectory of the Task Scheduler is the path you set, but unfortunately this parameter can only be set manually on Win7 or win2008, so how can I use the command to automatically modify it?

Have tried many ways of netizens, at present, summed up two kinds of feasible methods to:

1 for Windows2012, use PowerShell for parameter setting

Reference:

Specifying "start-in" directory in schtasks command in Windows

Exectype Complex Type

2 for Win7 or Windows2008, you can modify it automatically by modifying the XML method:

First: Create a Task Scheduler with a command for the first time

Then: Export to XML format by command

Again: Modify the XML through the script, adding the start parameter

Finally: Re-import the XML (overwrite) to

Say so much, how to use command implementation, here is one of my test example

The main commands to use are:

1. Create your task viaschtasks.exe /create /tn MyTask ...
2. Export your task to XML viaschtasks.exe /query /xml /tn MyTask > MyTask.xml
3. Update this XML via XSLT or a search/replace
4. Re-import (overwriting the old task) viaschtasks.exe /create /tn MyTask /xml MyTask.xml /f
