Task Scheduler executes script but does not output to log file

I am running into the following issue :

I have a task scheduler job running across a number of Azure VMs, it is scheduled to run at ~11pm every wednesday.

From what I can see the script executes the required change, however it does not generate the log output file

enter image description here

the argument I use is the following:

-F C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\scripts\automatexml_weu.ps1 -Verbose > C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\scripts\xml_script_logs\xml_script_output_$(Get-Date -format "yyyyMMdd").log

But the log file is never generated.

If I run the above command outside of Task Scheduler it works with no issues

Anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately it doesnt seem possible to do it this way through Task Scheduler.

"The scheduled task cannot redirect that way. You will have to redirect to a file inside of the PowerShell script. It is PowerShell that supports that redirection." - technet
