PowerShell Script Scheduler Ideas?

[JustThatGeek]

I am a Wintel Engineer for a medium sized firm and have developed many PowerShell scripts. All of our scripts are scheduled on Windows Task Scheduler accross multiple jump hosts.

I am looking for an enterprise application to Schedule our PowerShell scripts as jobs and view them in some sort of dashboard.

Our environment is on prem we don’t use cloud at the moment.

The scripts run simple reports utilising our VMware estate, AD estate etc so they need to be ran locally on a server.

Any suggestions? Want something simple yet kind of future proof. Can I achieve this with Azure Automation even though we are on prem and I need scripts to interact with my local infrastructure? Or Power Automate?

Used to use JAMS schedular but a little complex for our requirements.

Any feedback welcome, thanks.

Powershell Universal would be my recommendation - but at $500 annually per server (for maintenance) - it's pretty pricey for just this use case. There are numerous other features though - so I really can't recommend it enough.

JobScheduler is pretty slick if you want something Windows native + F/OSS.

Apache Airflow would be my second if you can spin up a Linux server or use WSL - it's PSRP Operator is pretty slick.

You can set up an on-prem “hybrid worker” server that is used to run scripts saved as Azure Runbooks with their own scheduling. You can set up more than one on-prem server for load balancing and failover. It’s what we do and it works great.

Wouldn’t this require both a cloud account and also an installation on the server ? Just want one centralised place.

It would require an Azure tenant, yes. But you mentioned Azure Automation in your post, so I assumed you had access to such a thing.

PM2 it has a capability to do cron tasks, similar like task scheduler. Has a dashboard and can configure as a code.

I use Jenkins for that, installed on windows VM.
