View all Scheduled Tasks of VMs

ecrosby — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 18:13:02 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a way to view all Scheduled Tasks of all VMs from vCenter? Is there potentially a PowerCLI command that could be used to gather this information?

In PowerCLI you can accomplish this with a Get-View of the ScheduledTaskManager object like so.

(Get-View ScheduledTaskManager).ScheduledTask | %{(Get-View $_).Info} | Select Name,NextRunTime

It will return for any object in the system. For example, if I schedule two power on tasks for a couple of VMs, I can run this pipeline without specifying those individual objects.

Guessing you no longer need the remove script, but it was posted here a month later

modify or remove where{$_.Info.Name -match 'PRE WSUS'}
