I need to get a list of Scheduled tasks from a Windows server out to a third party. So, I was searching for a way to do this via a script. This is the solution I came up with:<\/p>\n
\r\nparam([String]$schedPath=\"\\\")\r\nfunction getTasks($path) {\r\n $out = @()\r\n\r\n # Get root tasks\r\n $schedule.GetFolder($path).GetTasks(0) | % {\r\n $xml = [xml]$_.xml\r\n $out += New-Object psobject -Property @{\r\n \"Name\" = $_.Name\r\n \"Path\" = $_.Path\r\n \"LastRunTime\" = $_.LastRunTime\r\n \"NextRunTime\" = $_.NextRunTime\r\n \"Actions\" = ($xml.Task.Actions.Exec | % { \"$($_.Command) $($_.Arguments)\" }) -join \"`n\"\r\n }\r\n }\r\n\r\n # Get tasks from subfolders\r\n $schedule.GetFolder($path).GetFolders(0) | % {\r\n $out += getTasks($_.Path)\r\n }\r\n\r\n #Output\r\n $out\r\n}\r\n\r\n$tasks = @()\r\n\r\n$schedule = New-Object -ComObject \"Schedule.Service\"\r\n$schedule.Connect() \r\n\r\n# Start inventory\r\n$tasks += getTasks($schedPath)\r\n\r\n# Close com\r\n[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($schedule) | Out-Null\r\nRemove-Variable schedule\r\n\r\n# Output all tasks\r\n$tasks\r\n<\/pre>\nTo execute the script, from the Powershell command prompt, I use the following string:<\/p>\n
\r\n.\\GetScheduledTasks.ps1 \\Folder\\TasksForMe | Format-Table -Wrap -Property Name,NextRunTime,Actions > FolderTasksForMe.txt\r\n<\/pre>\nPowershell is not one of my strong points. So, there is probably a lot more to do with this.<\/p>\n
