List Scheduled Tasks in Task Scheduler Library

[GreenCan]

This script will get all Scheduled tasks as defined on a system

There are basically 3 functions in this small udf:

1. _TaskGetFolders() will return an array of all folders as from a given Scheduler Library folder, recursively. $aFolders will have to be declared before the function is called, I am not sure if there is a better method to avoid having to declare the array outside of _TaskGetFolders()...
2. _TaskListAllDetailed() will return a detailed array of all tasks in a given task folder, recursively. This function is using _TaskGetFolders() for the recurse option.
3. _TaskListToText() will create a formatted output of scheduled tasks as returned to the above array.

The script is complementary to taskplanerCOM.au3 by Allow2010.

The example shows

• all folders in the Scheduler Library
• All scheduled tasks in root (with formatted output)
• All scheduled tasks on the system
• Scheduled tasks Windows Defender if available

_TaskListAllDetailed.au3

I get an error after the array window:

 

>Running:(3.3.13.19):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\autoit3.exe "C:\_Downloads\_TaskListAllDetailed.au3"    
--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
"C:\_Downloads\_TaskListAllDetailed.au3" (156) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$aResult[$iRows][14] = $oTaskAction.ClassId
$aResult[$iRows][14] = $oTaskAction^ ERROR

Hi UEZ,

Just to be sure, are you using Windows XP or Vista/7 ?

I commented out _TaskIsValidPlatfrom() ...

The udf will only function for Task Scheduler 2.0 (Vista or above...)

OK, I will test it on my 8.1 tablet later today...(no Autoit installed on this device unfortunately)

I'll come back to you afterwards.

Meanwhile, I checked msdn but there is nowhere mentioned that it would not work with 8.1

Hi GreenCan !

Works well on Windows 10x64 Technical Preview

Tried It on my 8.1 pro tablet and got no issue.

Can I suggest to comment out classid and check if the rest of the script works fine?

The methods for $oActions = $oTaskDefinition.Actions (line 154-179) are not working running AutoIt v3.3.12.0.

For latest beta additionally $colTaskTriggers = $oTaskDefinition.Triggers is not working (line 273 - 290).

The rest seems to work.

I tried it with both v3.3.10.2 and v3.3.12.0, no issue on my system. This is really weird as ClassId and Data are valid properties for the ComHandlerAction object.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa446820(v=vs.85).aspx

ClassId results is something like this (extract from xml):  <ClassId>{CF2CF428-325B-48D3-8CA8-7633E36E5A32}</ClassId>

Idem for the trigger object.

Not sure how I can help with this.

Does anyone else have the same issue as UEZ please?

Same issue for me on Win 7

"O:\#   Tailored\#  Tech Toolz Code\Toolz\Scheduled Task Remover\_TaskListAllDetailed.au3" (156) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$aResult[$iRows][14] = $oTaskAction.ClassId
$aResult[$iRows][14] = $oTaskAction^ ERROR
->11:20:09 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:1

Shows the first array then throws an error

Guess the code wasn't fixed to work with the latest version of AutoIt, and still hasn't been since Dec 2014.

Yep i went this way after some experimentation

Global $filename = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\Logs\tasklist_logs\' & @OSVersion & '-' & @UserName & '-' & @MDAY & '-' & @MON & '-' & @MIN & '-' & @SEC & '"'
RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'schtasks.exe /query /v /fo CSV >' &  $filename & '-tasklist.csv', '', @SW_HIDE)
