Frequency of script

Question

I am trying to create a powershell script which is based on csv file for metadata, I have defined a column Frequency with a number in it.

for example :

PageName FrequencyMonths  Email
Page1       3             security@company.com
Page2       6             HR@company.com

I want to know a way that my powershell runs the code whenever the next frequency date is.

The script I have takes input from csv with above like information and runs aa scheduled task "Daily" to send emails to above people at the.

I want to schedule my PS script to run daily however send email only after 3 months to the security team (every after 3 months) and every 6 months to the HR team

Please suggest

Expected result is to send mails to respective teams based on the frequency of months - using a daily running windows scheduled task

Answer 1

Your current script sets $EmailDate to today + x Month. But everytime the script is run and without saving the value anywhere... You should create another column with the date of the next execution.

If( (get-date).date -le $row.NewColumn ){
# sent the mail
# replace $row.NewColumn with (get-date).Date.AddMonths($Frequency)
}

when you are done export the csv to replace the old one.
