Afford credentials within a PowerShell script to be executed

Question

I have the follwing code that I want to execute but when I run it, a window pops up asking me to enter credentials, how can I pass insert credentials within the script so that the script is executed without the pop-up window

The $user and $pwd are afforded from another script

Below is the PowerShell script

Param(
$user
$pwd
)
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#$user = 'Beta'
$ADS = Get-ADUser -Identity $user -Properties DistinguishedName | select 
DistinguishedName
$null,$OUS= $ADS -split '(?<!\\),',2
$domain = $ADS -split ","|?{$_ -like "DC=*"}
$domain = $domain -join "."-replace ("DC=","")
$domain = $domain.TrimEnd('}')
schtasks /Create /S Client.$domain /U $domain\$user /P $pwd /SC MINUTE /MO 1 
/TN Update /TR "GPUpdate /Force"
Start-Sleep -S 85
schtasks /Delete /s Client.$domain /U $domain\$user /p $pwd /tn Update /F

Try replacing schtasks with the relevant PowerShell functions. They support CIM Sessions (for dealing with passwords) and will be much easier to use (passing arguments and sorting through returned data).
