I thought no matter what OS you had, if you had Powershell installed, you would have access to the same default cmdlets.
So I want to use Get-ScheduledTask on my Windows 7 machine. I have Powershell 4 installed. However, when I run it, I get the error:
Get-ScheduledTask : The term 'Get-ScheduledTask' is not recognized as the name
of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-ScheduledTask
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-ScheduledTask:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
If I run on my Windows 8.1 with Powershell 4 already pre-installed along with the OS, it works.
Can I get the cmdlets on my Windows 7 machine? There is nothing on the Microsoft Get-ScheduledTask page about Windows 7 so I am guessing not.
If not then would it be a case of using the command line:
scheduled task command line
No doubt someone will point me at this question but that was for Powershell 2. I am on Powershell 4.
Now I am a big fan of not reinventing the wheel, but this guys scripts look a good alternative.
