Error in copying the files via Task-scheduler by running Powershell script

Question

_{Tuesday, October 16, 2018 2:27 PM}

Hi Guys,

I am trying to copy files from a Network location to a local folder using Powershell scripting. The very strange thing is, when I run this script via Powershell ISE it working fine. But when i run this script via Windows Task Scheduler from the same machine, it is unable to copy files. It is even unable to see the files in the network drive.

Eg: when i run this command via Windows Task-scheduler, i.e. $(ls $(Network_Location_Name) | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Count | outfile FileName.log, the result is ZERO !

In addition, I made sure I am running the task with a service account which has full access to the Network location from where it is copying the files.

Please help and thanks in advance! 

Regards

Mike
