DESCRIPTION


The Enable-JobTrigger cmdlet re-enables job triggers of scheduled jobs, such as those that were disabled by using the Disable-JobTrigger cmdlet. Enabled and re-enabled job
triggers can start scheduled jobs immediately; there is no need to restart Windows or Windows PowerShell.


To use this cmdlet, use the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet to get the job triggers. Then pipe the job triggers to Enable-JobTrigger or use its InputObject parameter.


To enable a job trigger, the Enable-JobTrigger cmdlet sets the Enabled property of the job trigger to True ($true).


Enable-ScheduledJob is one of a collection of job scheduling cmdlets in the PSScheduledJob module that is included in Windows PowerShell.


For more information about Scheduled Jobs, see the About topics in the PSScheduledJob module. Import the PSScheduledJob module and then type: Get-Help about_Scheduled* or
see about_Scheduled_Jobs.


This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

Examples


Example 1: Enable a job trigger

PS C:\>Get-JobTrigger -Name Backup-Archives -TriggerID 1 | Enable-JobTrigger



This command enables the first trigger (ID=1) of the Backup-Archives scheduled job on the local computer.

The command uses the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet to get the job trigger. A pipeline operator sends the job trigger to the Enable-JobTrigger cmdlet, which enables it.




Example 2: Enable all job triggers

PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Get-JobTrigger | Enable-JobTrigger



The command uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get the scheduled jobs on the local computer. A pipeline operator (|) sends the scheduled jobs to the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet,
which gets all job triggers of the scheduled jobs. Another pipeline operator sends the job triggers to the Enable-JobTrigger cmdlet, which enables them.




Example 3: Enable the job trigger of a scheduled job on a remote computer.

PS C:\>Invoke-Command -ComputerName Server01 {Get-JobTrigger -Name DeployPackage | Where-Object {$_.Frequency -eq "AtLogon"} | Enable-JobTrigger}



This command re-enables the AtLogon job triggers on the DeployPackage scheduled job on the Server01 remote computer.

The command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the commands on the Server01 computer. The remote command uses the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet to get the job triggers of the
DeployPackage scheduled job. A pipeline operator sends the job triggers to the Where-Object cmdlet which returns only AtLogon job triggers. A pipeline operator sends the
AtLogon job triggers to the Enable-JobTrigger cmdlets which Enables them.




Example 4: Display disabled job triggers

PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Get-JobTrigger | where {!$_.Enabled} | Format-Table Id, Frequency, At, DaysOfWeek, Enabled, @{Label="JobName";Expression={$_.JobDefinition.Name}}
Id Frequency At DaysOfWeek Enabled JobName
-- --------- -- ---------- ------- -------
1 Weekly 9/28/2011 3:00:00 AM {Monday} False Backup-Archive
2 Daily 9/29/2011 1:00:00 AM False Backup-Archive
1 Weekly 10/20/2011 11:00:00 PM {Friday} False Inventory
1 Weekly 11/2/2011 2:00:00 PM {Monday} False Inventory



This command displays all disabled job triggers of all scheduled jobs in a table. You can use a command like this one to discover job triggers that might need to be enabled.

The command uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get the scheduled jobs on the local computer. A pipeline operator (|) sends the scheduled jobs to the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet,
which gets all job triggers of the scheduled jobs. Another pipeline operator sends the job triggers to the Where-Object cmdlet, which returns only job triggers that are
disabled, that is, where the value of the Enabled property of the job trigger is not (!) true.

Another pipeline operator sends the disabled job triggers to the Format-Table cmdlet, which displays the selected properties of the job triggers in a table. The properties
include a new JobName property that displays the name of the scheduled job in the JobDefinition property of the job trigger.
