How can I redirect PowerShell output when run from Task Scheduler?

When running a simple PowerShell script from Task Scheduler, I would like to redirect the output to a file.

It would be maybe easier to use Start-Transcript in order to log directly to a file:

# Get script name
$ScriptFullPath = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
# Start logging stdout and stderr to file
Start-Transcript -Path "$ScriptFullPath.log" -Append

[Some PowerShell commands]

# Stop logging to file
Stop-Transcript

The log file will be in the same directory as the script.
