Spent some time looking for this , as the wording has changed since the last time I used it. Look at the properties of the scheuled tasks, Security Options: "Run only when user is logged on" - interactive. "Run wheather user is logged on or not" - non-interactive, window will not display on the screen of the same user if logged on.

Convert String to Date Time

Here is the method I used to convert text to timestamps:
 $strtimeManual = "2013-02-14-0200"
  
 $strtimeManual = [datetime]::ParseExact($strtimeManual ,"yyyy-MM-dd-HHmm",$null)
  
 $endtimeManual = "2013-02-14-0400"
  
 $endtimeManual = [datetime]::ParseExact($endtimeManual ,"yyyy-MM-dd-HHmm",$null)
  
 $MyStartDate = $strtimeManual 
  
 $MyEndDate = $endtimeManual
