Hi,

We have migrated all the sites to SharePoint online environment , I have to write the PowerShell script to stop the SharePoint 2010 workflow instances on list

We are trying to use below CSOM code in PowerShell

Guid workflowInstanceGuid;
Guid.TryParse(listItem["WorkflowInstance"].ToString(), out workflowInstanceGuid);
interopService.CancelWorkflow(workflowInstanceGuid);
context.ExecuteQuery();

but i am not able to find the workflow instance GUID to passs as parameter , for the 2010 workflow in SharePoint online

Please help use to find the accurate code or command so we can stop the 2010 Workflow.

Please suggest if any other option is there to do this

Thanks ,

    The CancelWorkflow function should be a server-side function. In SharePoint Online,we could not call use any server-side class and function.
    And as I test,pnp powershell can not get 2010 workflow instance too.
