Script for finding scheduled task wizards task inf

Question

I know there is a command for finding the scheduled tasks of a computer but I want to get more information on the scheduled tasks themselves. I want to know when and what time a scheduled task will be performed ALONG with the name and area of the scheduled task. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Set TS = CreateObject("Schedule.Service")
TS.Connect("Serenity")

Set rootFolder = TS.GetFolder("\")

Set tasks = rootFolder.GetTasks(0)

If tasks.Count = 0 Then 
    Wscript.Echo "No tasks are registered."
Else
    WScript.Echo "Number of tasks registered: " & tasks.Count

    For Each Task In Tasks
    A=Task.Name
    A = A & " " & Task.NextRunTime
    wscript.echo A
    Next
End If

From Help, some of these are objects with other info in them.
