I’ve been trying to automate the update of Bigfix License via Task Scheduler using the command below but it times out and fails. Has anyone been able to successfully execute the below command in a Task scheduler? When I run it manually in CMD, it works but when used in Task Scheduler, it eventually times out.

Yeah I’m not sure how the quoting rules in PowerShell apply there, given the -ArgumentList especially with the $PVK path containing spaces…I’d try it out without any variables, just literal strings, and it might be easier to just run this in CMD outside of PowerShell.

So from a single CMD line you could use something like
