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
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .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.
        The other allowed values are the numbers 1 to 31 for each day of the month.
 
        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 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 EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance localhost\SQL2016 -Schedule daily -FrequencyType Daily -FrequencyInterval Everyday -Force
 
        Creates a schedule with a daily frequency every day. It assumes default values for the start date, start time, end date and end time due to -Force.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAgentSchedule -SqlInstance sstad-pc -Schedule MonthlyTest -FrequencyType Monthly -FrequencyInterval 10 -FrequencyRecurrenceFactor 1 -Force
 
        Create a schedule with a monhtly frequency occuring every 10th of the month. It assumes default values for the start date, start time, end date and end time due to -Force.
