Yeah, I figured that out.  I was trying to use "/s hostname /u foo /p fooPassword" to try and force a remote setup.

In this case I am on a Linux machine.  I have a lot of automation setup from Linux boxes to manage the Windows VMs.

I started off with PowerShell but re-wrote to schtasks to make this post shorter.  Exactly the same thing happens:

> Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName $taskName -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -RunLevel Highest -User foo -Password $fooPassword
Register-ScheduledTask : The user name or password is incorrect.
