Powershell script cannot access a file when run as a Scheduled Task

Question

My Powershell (2.0) script has the following code snippet:

$fileName = \"c:\\reports\\1.xlsx\"
$xl = new-object -comobject excel.application
$xlFormat = [Mic         


        

Answer 1

The solutions above didn't work in my SCSM 2012 Scorch environment, instead I used PSExcel (https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PSExcel) which has no dependency on having Excel installed or the ComObject.
