Windows Server 2012 create daily task and email notification ?

Question

Hello, within our Windows Server 2012 I would like to create a daily task that would copy all of the contents within some folders from local location to a different machine shared location and send me an email notification if it succeeded or failed.

I have a domain login account that it can run under and do this.

Are there any handy scripts or step by steps out there that I can use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies and for the links.

I searched both and didn't seem to find anything related to Windows Task Scheduler.

Any other links?

Thanks DSPatrick.

But so far I don't see how to attach to an email to notify if success or failed.
