How to create windows service to run a powershell script?
Due to the length of the articles I don't want to paste them in the answer.
Check out this post which is the most comprehensive source of info I've found regarding powershell services: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt703436.aspx
which links to an example powershell service: http://jf.larvoire.free.fr/progs/PSService.ps1
I didn't end up successfully modifying this as it was going to take me longer to read through it and understand it than it would to use a different method for my use case, but I'd certainly be going back to that if I needed to create a service in powershell in the future.
