.SYNOPSIS
Creates a scheduled task to run the user activity tracking script at logon.
.DESCRIPTION
This script creates a Windows Task Scheduler task that launches the
run_hidden.vbs (which in turn runs report.ps1) script whenever a user
logs into the system. It must be run with administrative privileges.
.NOTES
File Name : schedule_task.ps1
Author : IT Department
Version : 1.5 (Modified to schedule run_hidden.vbs)
.EXAMPLE
.\schedule_task.ps1 -ScriptPath "C:\Path\To\report.ps1"
(Ensure run_hidden.vbs is in the same directory as report.ps1)
# To avoid security warnings, you can unblock the files first:
# Unblock-File -Path schedule_task.ps1
# Unblock-File -Path report.ps1
# Unblock-File -Path run_hidden.vbs
#>
