How to export Scheduled Jobs from DC's via VBS or Powershell script

schtasks - maybe helpful

You may read that it depends on how they were scheduled. If they were scheduled with at then the step below will not work, if they were scheduled with task scheduler then it should work.

Mark

Use the below command line and capture the output and paste into a blank XML file.  You can then import and/or modify the XML

schtasks /Query [/S  [/U  [/P []]] /XML /TN

try this

Set objShell = CreateObject("WSCript.shell")
strServer = InputBox("enter server name")
strPath = InputBox("path to save csv file. e.g : c:\temp")
strCmd = "cmd /c schtasks /query /S \\" & strServer & " /V /FO CSV >" & Chr(34) & strPath & "\" & strServer & ".csv" & chr(34)
objShell.Run(strCmd,0,True)

Select allOpen in new window

You can just copy the .job files from \\servername\admin$\tasks.  They can be exported to other machines by copying them to the same location.  Usually only the "Run As" parameter has to be adjusted afterwards.

Thank you all for your kind help.

I will try every suggestion and see which will be the best for my needs.

Basically I need the following:

- Name of the Scheduled Task/s (it's essential that I have a list of all running tasks on the server)
- I need it to get that info from around 20 DC's
- Most important thing is that I get the account name which is used to run the scheduled task.

Output file version is insubstantial. .csv, .xml etc, any will do.

Thx, regards,
Nik

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks

thanks for the grade

I've changed it a bit for our needs, but it was very helpful. Thanks again.
