I have two event which both have the same EventID and is of type Warning, but I want to just send one of them. The other event occurs frequently which brings a lot of noise in the mailbox. How to filter out that? Is it possible?

There are lots of ways to interface with Task Scheduler. For example, you can use the Schedule.Service COM object.
$TaskScheduler = New-Object -COMObject Schedule.Service
$TaskScheduler.Connect()
$TaskFolder = $TaskScheduler.GetFolder("\") # If your task is in the root "folder"
$Task = $TaskFolder.GetTask("The Name Of Your Task")
$Triggers = $Task.Definition.Triggers
$FirstTrigger = $Triggers.Item(1)
Those trigger objects each have an Enabled property. I think the array indices here start at 1, which is weird, but whatever.
Edit: And oh yeah, the RegisterTaskDefinition() method should save your changes.

Edit the "Trigger" of your current task and change the Settings from "Basic" to "Custom". Then click
New Event Filter...and you can customize what you'd like to trigger based off of with more precision.Your question is a bit unclear. I can't tell if you have two events that have the same ID and one is of type "Warning" or you have two events of the same ID and both are of type "Warning". If it's the former, this can be resolved by checking the box
Warning, otherwise you'll have to create a custom XML filter. If you provide a bit more information, I can assist you.
