Query scheduled task on a remote computer with windows 2019

Question

We are trying to run and query scheduled task fro a remote machine in Windows 2016 to windows 2019. This is not working properly as it only returns tasks created with 2003 version.

Answer 1

Try the following:

$ComputerName = "RemoteComputerName"
$Credential = Get-Credential  # Enter credentials for accessing the remote computer
$CimSession = New-CimSession -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credential
# Query scheduled tasks
Get-ScheduledTask -CimSession $CimSession
# Close the remote session
Remove-CimSession -CimSession $CimSession

Answer 2

Hi Xavi Sanchez (IT Technician),

How did you query the scheduled tasks on remote computers? And how did you tell the returns tasks are created with Windows Server 2003?

To connect to remote computers, you can either select "Action" > "Connect to Another Computer" in the mmc snap-in Task Scheduler or run a PowerShell script that gets the tasks in a remote session.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
