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.
            If the job parameter is not supplied the schedule will not be attached 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 Schedule
            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: Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, MonthlyRelative, AgentStart or IdleComputer
 
            If force is used the default will be "Once".
 
        .PARAMETER FrequencyInterval
            The days that a job is executed
 
            Allowed values: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Weekdays, Weekend or EveryDay.
 
            If "Weekdays", "Weekend" or "EveryDay" is used it over writes 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: Time, Seconds, Minutes, 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).
 
            Allowed values: First, Second, Third, Fourth or Last
 
        .PARAMETER FrequencyRecurrenceFactor
            The number of weeks or months between the scheduled execution of a job.
 
            FrequencyRecurrenceFactor is used only if FrequencyType is "Weekly", "Monthly" 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 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.
 
        .PARAMETER Silent
            Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages

        .EXAMPLE
            New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -Schedule 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 -Schedule 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.
            The force will remove any existing schedules that have the same name
 
        .EXAMPLE
            New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -Schedule daily -StartDate 20170530 -StartTime 110000 -EndTime 150000 -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1
 
            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 -Schedule daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1
 
            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 -Schedule daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1
 
            Creates a schedule for the job with a daily frequency every day on multiple servers for multiple jobs using pipe line
 
        .EXAMPLE
            New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sql1 -Schedule daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval 1 -Force
 
            Creates a schedule that's not connected to a job
