It’s a huge time saver and can help you track down Active Directory accounts running as a service. I created the Service Accounts Report Tool to make it easy for System Administrators to inventory scheduled tasks and Windows Services on multiple computers. Although the Get-ScheduledTasks is easy to use, it may not provide all the details you need when scanning remote computers. In this guide, I showed you how to use PowerShell to list the scheduled tasks on local and remote computers. In the screenshot below I’ve filtered for all tasks and services that are running. I found that my Active Directory account is being used to run a Scheduled Task on server “SRV-VM1”. In this example, I’ve filtered for any task and service running as “robert.allen”. When the report is completed you can click on any column to easily filter and sort the results. Step 2: Click RunĬlick the “Run” button and the tool will scan the selected computers for Scheduled tasks and windows services. Select to scan all computers, an OU/group, or search the domain for specific computers. These accounts can become a security risk and cause random account lockouts. This is useful to help track down Active Directory accounts that are running scheduled tasks or windows services on remote computers. This GUI tool solves that problem by displaying additional details like Running As, Last Run Results, and Last Run time. One issue with the PowerShell Get-ScheduledTask command is that it does not provide a lot of details such as the account it is running as (username). This is an easy-to-use graphical tool that can also list windows services. In this example, I’ll use the Service Accounts Report Tool to list all scheduled tasks on a group of computers. Get-ScheduledTask -CimSession PC1 Get Scheduled Tasks on All Computers (Graphical Tool) In this example, I’m working on DC1 and will get the scheduled tasks on remote computer PC1. You will need PowerShell Remoting enabled for this to work. To get a list of scheduled tasks on a remote computer, you can use the -CimSession parameter. get-scheduledtask -taskname 'Office*' List Scheduled Tasks on Remote Computer I’ll search for any taskname that has Office in the name. In this example, I want to list all of the Microsoft Office scheduled tasks. In this example, I’ll list any scheduled tasks that have “Firefox” in the taskname. If you don’t know the name of a scheduled task you can use a wildcard search. get-scheduledtask | where state -eq 'Disabled' List Scheduled Tasks Using Wildcard Search To display all the disabled scheduled tasks use this command. get-scheduledtask | where state -eq 'Ready' List all Disabled Scheduled Tasks Use this command to display only the active scheduled tasks. Here are some commands to filter the list of scheduled tasks. Get-ScheduledTask Filter Scheduled Tasks List To list the scheduled tasks on your local command run the command below. get-command -Module get-scheduledtasks List Scheduled Tasks on Local Computer To view the command syntax use the below command. By using the command parameters you can also get a list from remote computers. The Get-ScheduledTasks command is used to get the registered tasks on a local computer.
