function New-DbaAgentSchedule {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
New-DbaAgentSchedule creates a new schedule in the msdb database.
 
.DESCRIPTION
New-DbaAgentSchedule will help create a new schedule for a job. It does not attach the schedule to a job.
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use:
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
.PARAMETER Job
The name of the job that has the schedule.
 
.PARAMETER ScheduleName
The name of the schedule.
 
.PARAMETER Disabled
Set the schedule to disabled. Default is enabled
 
.PARAMETER FrequencyType
A value indicating when a job is to be executed.
Allowed values are 1, "Once", 4, "Daily", 8, "Weekly", 16, "Monthly", 32, "MonthlyRelative", 64, "AgentStart", 128 or "IdleComputer"
If force is used the default will be "Once".
 
.PARAMETER FrequencyInterval
The days that a job is executed
Allowed values are 1, "Sunday", 2, "Monday", 4, "Tuesday", 8, "Wednesday", 16, "Thursday", 32, "Friday", 64, "Saturday", 62, "Weekdays", 65, "Weekend", 127, "EveryDay".
If 62, "Weekdays", 65, "Weekend", 127, "EveryDay" is used it overwwrites any other value that has been passed before.
If force is used the default will be 1.
 
.PARAMETER FrequencySubdayType
Specifies the units for the subday FrequencyInterval.
Allowed values are 1, "Time", 2, "Seconds", 4, "Minutes", 8 or "Hours"
 
.PARAMETER FrequencySubdayInterval
The number of subday type periods to occur between each execution of a job.
 
.PARAMETER FrequencyRelativeInterval
A job's occurrence of FrequencyInterval in each month, if FrequencyInterval is 32 (monthlyrelative).
 
.PARAMETER FrequencyRecurrenceFactor
The number of weeks or months between the scheduled execution of a job.
FrequencyRecurrenceFactor is used only if FrequencyType is 8, "Weekly", 16, "Monthly", 32 or "MonthlyRelative".
 
.PARAMETER StartDate
The date on which execution of a job can begin.
If force is used the start date will be the current day
 
.PARAMETER EndDate
The date on which execution of a job can stop.
If force is used the end date will be '9999-12-31'
 
.PARAMETER StartTime
The time on any day to begin execution of a job. Format HHMMSS / 24 hour clock.
Example: '010000' for 01:00:00 AM.
Example: '140000' for 02:00:00 PM.
If force is used the start time will be '00:00:00'
 
.PARAMETER EndTime
The time on any day to end execution of a job. Format HHMMSS / 24 hour clock.
Example: '010000' for 01:00:00 AM.
Example: '140000' for 02:00:00 PM.
If force is used the start time will be '23:59:59'
 
.PARAMETER Owner
The name of the server principal that owns the schedule. If no value is given the schedule is owned by the creator.
 
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
.PARAMETER Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
.PARAMETER Silent
Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages
 
.PARAMETER Force
The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults.
It will also remove the any present schedules with the same name for the specific job.

.EXAMPLE
New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -ScheduleName daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1 -Force
Creates a schedule for the job with a daily frequency every day. It also assumes default values for the start date, start time, end date and end time.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1, Job2, Job3 -ScheduleName weekly -FrequencyType Weekly -FrequencyInterval Monday, Wednesday, Friday -Force
Creates a schedule for the job with a daily frequency every day. It also assumes default values for the start date, start time, end date and end time.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -ScheduleName daily -StartDate 20170530 -StartTime 110000 -EndTime 150000 -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1 -Force
Create a daily schedule that starts on the May 30th on 11 AM and ends on 3 PM.
  
.EXAMPLE
sql1, sql2, sql3 | New-DbaAgentSchedule -Job Job1 -ScheduleName daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1 -Force
Creates a schedule for the job with a daily frequency every day on multiple servers
 
.EXAMPLE
sql1, sql2, sql3 | New-DbaAgentSchedule -Job Job1, Job2, Job3 -ScheduleName daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1 -Force
Creates a schedule for the job with a daily frequency every day on multiple servers for multiple jobs using pipe line
