Somehow I can't see scheduled jobs created by another user with get-scheduled job (can see them using task scheduler in powershell\scheduledjobs). What is the trick? powershell v3.
I've got some solution for you.
As you notice you can see all Scheduled Job into Task Scheduler. So I Run :
Get-ScheduledTask
and then
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\ScheduledJobs\"
So You can see all your PowerShell Jobs. I you really want ot retreive ScheduledJob objects then, you can run :
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\ScheduledJobs\" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Actions | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Arguments | % {$_ -match '^.*= (.*);.*$'; Invoke-Expression $Matches[1]}
I just put some glue to retreive the jobs from the launch of each task.

I need to find tasks which runs using SYSTEM and delete rest of the tasks running using any other account
I was trying to find the job first, then unregister, but not getting any filters to do that.
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "SPOC_Inventory"
Need help in this
Try this (without -whatif):
PS C:\> Get-ScheduledTask SPOC_Inventory | ? {($_.Principal.UserId -ne "SYSTEM")}| Unregister-ScheduledTask -WhatIf

Azure Powershell runbook, scheduled to run every 1h.
The script runs "Invoke-AzVMRunCommand" to call a Powershell script on remote VM locally.
The problem -
sometimes it runs longer than 1h and overlaps with next in the schedule, and the second run fails with an error related to "Invoke-AzVMRunCommand" :
"Run command extension execution is in progress. Please wait for completion before invoking a run command."
The question - how to query if the runbook job is currently running.
We can not change schedule.
thank you!
This one does the check:
$jobs = Get-AzAutomationJob -ResourceGroupName $rgName -AutomationAccountName $aaName -RunbookName $runbook
$runningCount = ($jobs | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq "Running" }).count
if (($jobs.status -contains "Running" -And $runningCount -gt 1 ) -Or ($jobs.Status -eq "New"))
{
Write-Output "`n This runbook [$runbook] execution is stopped - there is another job currently running. Execution will start as per schedule next hour."
Exit 1
}
else
{
Write-Output "`n Let's proceed with runbook [$runbook] execution - there are no interfering jobs currently running." | Out-File -Filepath StarStop.txt -Append
} #end of check runbook status
You may use Az PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzAutomationJob to check the status of the job. Also, based on that status you may decide to remove or set existing schedule using schedule related cmdlets from here.
I am trying to get list of scheduled tasks from some remote machines using the get-scheduledTasks cmdlet. How to list those tasks and filter out only few tasks out of them and perform actions based on the presence of those tasks
$name="Start of task name or absolute name"
$servers="server01","server02","server03"
$tasks = $servers | % { Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock { Get-ScheduledTask | ? { $_.Name.StartsWith($name) } }
What you then do depends on what you want to do with those tasks.
I have defined some scheduled task using Windows Task Scheduler GUI under "" [default] path but when i run Get-ScheduledTask in powershell, it does not return them. why?
I have tried with Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MyTaskName" with one of my task name but it comes up with "No MSFT_ScheduledTask objects found with property 'TaskName' equal to 'MyTaskName'"
Actually I have tried https://library.octopusdeploy.com/step-template/actiontemplate-windows-scheduled-task-disable but it doesn't work so I have tried running script directly.
UPDATE
I have found the following script to get task list on http://www.fixitscripts.com/problems/getting-a-list-of-scheduled-tasks:
# PowerShell script to get scheduled tasks from local computer
$schedule = new-object -com("Schedule.Service")
$schedule.connect()
$tasks = $schedule.getfolder("\").gettasks(0)
$tasks | Format-Table Name , LastRunTime # -AutoSize
IF($tasks.count -eq 0) {Write-Host “Schedule is Empty”}
Read-Host
UAC
The result is likely affected by UAC. To see everything try right clicking the PowerShell icon, select Run as Administrator and then run your Get-ScheduledTask command again and see if that changes anything.

Have you tried using a com object? This code works for me:
# FOR A REMOTE MACHINE
$s = 'SERVER_NAME' # update this with server name
($TaskScheduler = New-Object -ComObject Schedule.Service).Connect($s)
# FOR LOCAL MACHINE
($TaskScheduler = New-Object -ComObject Schedule.Service).Connect()
#now we can query the schedules...
cls;$TaskScheduler.GetFolder('\').GetTasks(0) | Select Name, State, Enabled, LastRunTime, LastTaskResult | Out-GridView
This code will retrieve a particular task and enable it:
$task = $TaskScheduler.GetFolder('\').GetTask("TASKNAME")
$task.Enabled = $true
When running Get-ScheduledTask from a user-level prompt, even if the user is an administrator, they will see only the tasks that they can read with user-level permissions. Seeing them in the TaskSchd.Msc window indicates that program is running with different permissions.
Therefore, running a PowerShell prompt as administrator solves the problem.
The same issue occurs when using SchTasks.exe from a command prompt.
I have created a powershell job that I can see when I use the following command:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-ScheduledJob -Name KillTicker | Get-JobTrigger
Id Frequency Time DaysOfWeek Enabled
-- --------- ---- ---------- -------
1 AtStartup True
As this is a startup job I really don't fancy restarting to test it out - how to do I manually start this job?
If you run Get-ScheduledJob -id 1 | Get-Member to retrieve all Members of a Microsoft.PowerShell.ScheduledJob.ScheduledJobDefinition you will see that the object expose a method called StartJob:
(Get-ScheduledJob -id 1).StartJob()
To retrieve the result, use the Receive-Job cmdlet:
Receive-Job -id 1
I think it is worth it to mention that Start-Job or StartJob() both run the defined job from the current security context. If the job runs as different user or accesses network resources, you might get unexpected results.
To get the same behavior use either (Get-ScheduledJob -Name xxx).RunAsTask() or Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName xxx -TaskPath xxx. The latter provides a -CimSession option and could be better for remote operations.
You can use the Start-Job cmdlet and supply the name of the Scheduled Job as the
-DefinitionName parameter.
Start-Job -DefinitionName *MyJobName*
