I think just to run it as a manual one off, Start-Job can do it: Start-Job (Microsoft.PowerShell.Core) - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn. Looks like you might have to pass it the Type parameter of PSScheduledJob.

If you want to do something on a schedule I think you need a job trigger. Take a look at: about Scheduled Jobs - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn and New-JobTrigger (PSScheduledJob) - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn

i am sorry ,i was trying to use the Register-ScheduledJob and run the job without trigger

i try to use Get-ScheduledJob and get the command and run it but fail

The call operator won’t work with that command structure. You can either use Invoke-Expression to run the string as a command:

Invoke-Expression (Get-ScheduledJob -Name 'Test').Command

or use the call operator, but convert the String to a ScriptBlock:

& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((Get-ScheduledJob -Name 'Test').Command))
