Child elements

Element	Type	Description
RandomDelay	duration	Contains the delay time that is randomly added to the start time of the trigger. The format for this string is P<days>DT<hours>H<minutes>M<seconds>S (for example, P2DT5S is a 2 day, 5 second delay).
ScheduleByDay	dailyScheduleType	Specifies a daily schedule. For example, the task starts every day, every-other day, every third day, and so on.
ScheduleByMonth	monthlyScheduleType	Specifies a monthly schedule. For example, the task starts at 8:00 AM on specific days of the month on specific months.
