+Se `schtasks` segnala un errore di encoding XML, usa lo script di registrazione che crea una copia temporanea UTF-16 compatibile con Task Scheduler:
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\Register-BakRestTask.ps1 -Task Notifier
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\Register-BakRestTask.ps1 -Task BackupOnLogoff
+```
+
 Il task di backup usa l'evento Security `4647`, cioe' logoff/disconnessione iniziata dall'utente. Se sulla macchina questo evento non viene scritto, bisogna abilitare l'audit logoff oppure useremo un trigger alternativo.
 
 Il task notifier usa un trigger al logon e un trigger giornaliero con ripetizione `PT30M`, quindi avvisa durante la giornata anche se non viene usata la tray app.
