# Author: Warren Frame # Url: https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PowerShell/blob/master/Get-ScheduledTasks.ps1 function Get-ScheduledTask { <# .SYNOPSIS Get scheduled task information from a system .DESCRIPTION Get scheduled task information from a system Uses Schedule.Service COM object, falls back to SchTasks.exe as needed. When we fall back to SchTasks, we add empty properties to match the COM object output. .PARAMETER ComputerName One or more computers to run this against .PARAMETER Folder Scheduled tasks folder to query. By default, "\" .PARAMETER Recurse If specified, recurse through folders below $folder. Note: We also recurse if we use SchTasks.exe .PARAMETER Path If specified, path to export XML files Details: Naming scheme is computername-taskname.xml Please note that the base filename is used when importing a scheduled task. Rename these as needed prior to importing! .PARAMETER Exclude If specified, exclude tasks matching this regex (we use -notmatch $exclude) .PARAMETER CompatibilityMode If specified, pull scheduled tasks only with the schtasks.exe command, which works against older systems. Notes: Export is not possible with this switch. Recurse is implied with this switch. .EXAMPLE #Get scheduled tasks from the root folder of server1 and c-is-ts-91 Get-ScheduledTasks server1, c-is-ts-91 .EXAMPLE #Get scheduled tasks from all folders on server1, not in a Microsoft folder Get-ScheduledTasks server1 -recurse -Exclude "\\Microsoft\\" .EXAMPLE #Get scheduled tasks from all folders on server1, not in a Microsoft folder, and export in XML format (can be used to import scheduled tasks) Get-ScheduledTasks server1 -recurse -Exclude "\\Microsoft\\" -path 'D:\Scheduled Tasks' .NOTES Properties returned : When they will show up ComputerName : All queries Name : All queries Path : COM object queries, added synthetically if we fail back from COM to SchTasks Enabled : COM object queries Action : All queries. Schtasks.exe queries include both Action and Arguments in this property Arguments : COM object queries UserId : COM object queries LastRunTime : All queries NextRunTime : All queries Status : All queries Author : All queries RunLevel : COM object queries Description : COM object queries NumberOfMissedRuns : COM object queries Thanks to help from Brian Wilhite, Jaap Brasser, and Jan Egil's functions: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-SchedTasks-Determine-5e04513f http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Scheduled-tasks-from-3a377294 http://blog.crayon.no/blogs/janegil/archive/2012/05/28/working_2D00_with_2D00_scheduled_2D00_tasks_2D00_from_2D00_windows_2D00_powershell.aspx .FUNCTIONALITY Computers #> [cmdletbinding( DefaultParameterSetName = 'COM' )] param( [parameter( ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false, Position = 0 )] [Alias("host", "server", "computer")] [string[]]$ComputerName = "localhost", [parameter()] [string]$folder = "\", [parameter(ParameterSetName = 'COM')] [switch]$recurse, [parameter(ParameterSetName = 'COM')] [validatescript({ #Test path if provided, otherwise allow $null if ($_) { Test-Path -PathType Container -path $_ } else { $true } })] [string]$Path = $null, [parameter()] [string]$Exclude = $null, [parameter(ParameterSetName = 'SchTasks')] [switch]$CompatibilityMode ) Begin { if (-not $CompatibilityMode) { $sch = New-Object -ComObject Schedule.Service #thanks to Jaap Brasser - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Scheduled-tasks-from-3a377294 function Get-AllTaskSubFolder { [cmdletbinding()] param ( # Set to use $Schedule as default parameter so it automatically list all files # For current schedule object if it exists. $FolderRef = $sch.getfolder("\"), [switch]$recurse ) #No recurse?
