PowerShell cmdLet Get-ScheduledTask

$i = 0 foreach ($task in (get-scheduledTask)) { # if ($task.actions.length -gt 0) # Seems always to be 1 if ($task.actions.execute) { # "i: $($i)" "taskPath : $($task.taskPath)" "taskName : $($task.taskName)" "state : $($task.state)" "triggers : $($task.triggers)" "date : $($task.date)" "description: $($task.description)" foreach ($action in $task.actions) { " $($action.execute)" " $($action.arguments)" # $action.id # $action.workingDirectory # $action.psComputerName } '------------------------------------------' } $i++ }

-TaskPath

Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath \Microsoft\Windows\*update*

Required trailing slash

It seems that a trailing slash is required in the following case.

The following command produces

PS D:\exports> Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath '\x\syn' Get-ScheduledTask : No MSFT_ScheduledTask objects found with property 'TaskPath' equal to '\x\syn'. Verify the value of the property and retry.

get-scheduledTask -taskPath '\x\syn'

However, this works:

get-scheduledTask -taskPath '\x\syn\'

Forward slashes don't work

Apparently, when specifying a task path, backward slashed are required. Forward slashed cause an error:

PS C:\> get-scheduledTask -taskPath /tq84/ -taskname *
Get-ScheduledTask : No matching MSFT_ScheduledTask objects found by CIM query for instances of the Root/Microsoft/Windows/TaskScheduler/MSFT_ScheduledTask class on the  CIM server:
SELECT * FROM MSFT_ScheduledTask WHERE ((TaskName LIKE '%')) AND ((TaskPath LIKE '/tq84/')).
