To call multiple webpages from a PowerShell script using the Windows Task Scheduler, you can create a PowerShell script file (.ps1) with the necessary commands and then schedule it to run at specific intervals. Here's an example:

  1. Open a text editor and create a new file with a .ps1 extension (e.g., myscript.ps1).
  2. Add the following code to your PowerShell script file:
powershell
# Call webpage 1
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.example.com/page1"

# Call webpage 2
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.example.com/page2"

# Call webpage 3
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.example.com/page3"
  1. Save the script file.

Now, you can schedule this script to run at specific intervals using the Windows Task Scheduler:

  1. Open the Task Scheduler by typing "Task Scheduler" in the Windows search bar and selecting the appropriate result.
  2. Click on "Create Basic Task" or "Create Task" to create a new task.
  3. Provide a name and description for the task.
  4. Choose the desired trigger for the task (e.g., daily, weekly, etc.) and set the appropriate schedule.
  5. Select "Start a program" as the action.
  6. In the "Program/script" field, enter powershell.exe.
  7. In the "Add arguments" field, enter the full path to your PowerShell script file (e.g., "C:\path\to\myscript.ps1").
  8. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to create the task.

Now, the Windows Task Scheduler will execute your PowerShell script at the scheduled intervals, which will call the specified webpages. You can add more Invoke-WebRequest lines to call additional webpages within the script as needed.
