Powershell: disable enable windows task of windows scheduler

Hello experts,

I have access to different VM's. I was wondering if there a way through powershell to disable the various windows tasks of windows scheduler by reporting the IPs in a txt file.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Something like this

$ips = Get-content C:\temp\ip.txt

Foreach ($IP in $IPS){ Invoke-command -computername $ip -scriptblock {Get-scheduledtask | export-csv c:\temp\$IPscheduledtask.csv}}

Open in new window

I think that should work, it'll rely on WinRM being enabled.

Thank you for your help. Prior to run this I would like to make sure that -scriptblock is the argument, isn't?

I tested and it works!

I was having some issues by finding line 19 to disable for real but finally I realize that line to uncomment is the following:

$null = $task | Disable-ScheduledTask -ErrorAction Stop

Open in new window

Last question, f I want to use the script to apply the opposite approach (enable windows tasks), could you please let me know which are the lines to modify?

Thank you for your help.
