I'm writing a script that takes the user's input to then Register-ClusteredScheduledTask I'm trying to use a string for the -DaysOfWeek, but am only receiving various errors...
New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Weekly -WeeksInterval $recur -DaysOfWeek $day -At $starttime
New-ScheduledTaskTrigger: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'DaysOfWeek'. Cannot convert value "[dayofweek]Sunday,Wednesday,Saturday" to type "System.DayOfWeek[]". Error: "Cannot convert value "[dayofweek]Sunday,Wednesday,Saturday" to type "System.DayOfWeek". Error: "Unable to match the identifier name [dayofweek]Sunday,Wednesday,Saturday to a valid enumerator name. Specify one of the following enumerator names and try again: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday""
I did notice that when setting for individual days, the system assigns each day with a 64bit number, starting with Sunday at 1 thru Saturday at 64...

Therefore, if I schedule the following, I get the addition of Sunday + Saturday...
PS C:\Scripts\DCS> New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Weekly -WeeksInterval $recur -DaysOfWeek Sunday,Saturday -At $starttime

How can I use a variable for the -DaysOfWeek and actually work without throwing some sort of error?
I've tried various methods of converting the string to date, with limited success.
When I use [dayofweek]$day = 'Sunday,Saturday'
$day is only = to Saturday
