Is it possible to load Library Script in Scheduled Task using PowerShell ?

I have a large library of powershell functions that I would like to store in ARS as a library script and then call them from individual Scheduled Tasks, such as email, formatting, etc. I have attempted to add them Library Scripts but continually get an error such as "The term 'xfucntion' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

I see posts in regards to this but they appear old, maybe I am missing something?

Here is an example:

Thank you for any responses....

Cheers!

You should be able to do this using something like this in your scheduled task script:

$context.UseLibraryScript("LibraryScriptName")

I'm not 100% sure if the AR constant $Context is available in a scheduled task script.

If it isn't, what you might be able to do as a workaround is instead of using a Scheduled Task to fire your code, use a script activity housed inside a scheduled AR Workflow. $Context should be available to you there.

I have used this in the past, built in solution would be preferrable as the SDK and KB Article indicate the only way to do it is VB Script

$objScriptModule = [adsi]"EDMS://CN=Function Library,CN=Script Modules,CN=Configuration"

$objScriptModule.RefreshCache("edsaScriptText")

$libraryFunctionText = [string]($objScriptModule.edsaScriptText)

Invoke-Expression $libraryFunctionText
