Windows batch & Powershell: get trigger of windows schedule tasks

Hello,
I need to export the various trigger of windows task scheduler in a csv & txt.
I supposed there is an option through cmd or powershell.

Could you please advice.
Thank you very much for your help.

From a command line, the tool that I am aware of is schtasks, and it's ability to output tasks in XML format. It contains the trigger info. For example see below. Output can of course be pipes to a text file for other usage...

schtasks /query /xml /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Chkdsk\ProactiveScan"

Open in new window

I don't think this is going to work well. The Actions and Triggers have a varying number of different parameters and formats, and have quite a bit of complexity to them. To get a better feel for this run this command at a command prompt, and then browse the output file. I think you will see that the information you are after is too complex and varying to easily fit into a CSV file.

schtasks /query /xml > schtasks.txt
