SYNTAX

Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask [[-TaskName] <String>] [-Cluster] <String> [[-TaskState] <StateEnum>]
 [[-TaskType] <ClusterTaskTypeEnum>] [[-Credential] <PSCredential>] [[-CimSession] <CimSession>]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask function retrieves clustered scheduled tasks from a Windows failover cluster. This function connects to the specified cluster and retrieves information about clustered scheduled tasks, including their current state, ownership, and configuration. You can filter tasks by name, state, or type. The function returns detailed information about each task including its scheduled task object, current owner, and cluster-specific properties.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask -Cluster "MyCluster"

Retrieves all clustered scheduled tasks from cluster "MyCluster" using the current user's credentials.

EXAMPLE 2

Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask -TaskName "BackupTask" -Cluster "MyCluster.contoso.com"

Retrieves the specific clustered scheduled task named "BackupTask" from cluster "MyCluster.contoso.com".

EXAMPLE 3

Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask -Cluster "MyCluster" -TaskState "Ready" -TaskType "ClusterWide"

Retrieves all clustered scheduled tasks that are in "Ready" state and are "ClusterWide" type from cluster "MyCluster".

EXAMPLE 4

$credentials = Get-Credential
Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask -Cluster "MyCluster" -Credential $credentials | Where-Object { $_.CurrentOwner -eq "Node01" }

Retrieves all clustered scheduled tasks from cluster "MyCluster" using specified credentials and filters to show only tasks owned by "Node01".

EXAMPLE 5

$session = New-CimSession -ComputerName "MyCluster"
Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask -Cluster "MyCluster" -CimSession $session

Retrieves all clustered scheduled tasks using an existing CIM session.

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

INPUTS

None. You cannot pipe objects to Get-StmClusteredScheduledTask.

OUTPUTS

PSCustomObject

Returns custom objects containing:

- ScheduledTaskObject: The underlying ScheduledTask object

- CurrentOwner: The current owner node of the task

- TaskName: The name of the clustered scheduled task

- TaskState: The current state of the task

- TaskType: The type of clustered task

- Cluster: The cluster name where the task is located

NOTES

This function requires: - The FailoverClusters PowerShell module to be installed on the target cluster - Appropriate permissions to access clustered scheduled tasks - Network connectivity to the cluster - The cluster must be properly configured with clustered scheduled tasks

The function uses Get-ClusteredScheduledTask internally to retrieve the task information from the cluster.
