DESCRIPTION


The Disable-ScheduledJob cmdlet temporarily disables scheduled jobs. Disabling preserves all job properties and does not disable the job triggers, but it prevents the
scheduled jobs from starting automatically when triggered. You can start a disabled scheduled job by using the Start-Job cmdlet or use a disabled scheduled job as a
template.


To disable a scheduled job, the Disable-ScheduledJob cmdlet sets the Enabled property of the scheduled job to False ($false). To re-enable the scheduled job, use the
Enable-ScheduledJob cmdlet.


Disable-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: Disable a scheduled job

PS C:\>Disable-ScheduledJob -ID 2 -Passthru
Id Name Triggers Command Enabled
-- ---- -------- ------- -------
2 Inventory {1, 2} \\Srv01\Scripts\Get-FullInventory.ps1 False



This command disables the scheduled job with ID 2 on the local computer. The output shows the effect of the command.




Example 2: Disable all scheduled jobs

PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Disable-ScheduledJob -Passthru
Id Name Triggers Command Enabled
-- ---- -------- ------- -------
1 ArchiveProje... {} C:\Scripts\Archive-DxProjects.ps1 False
2 Inventory {1, 2} \\Srv01\Scripts\Get-FullInventory.ps1 False
4 Test-HelpFiles {1} .\Test-HelpFiles.ps1 False
5 TestJob {1, 2} .\Run-AllTests.ps1 False



This command disables all scheduled jobs on the local computer. It uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get all scheduled job and the Disable-ScheduledJob cmdlet to di
sable them.

You can re-enable scheduled job by using the Enable-ScheduledJob cmdlet and run a disabled scheduled job by using the Start-Job cmdlet.

Disable-ScheduledJob does not generate warnings or errors if you disable a scheduled job that is already disabled, so you can disable all scheduled jobs without condi
tions.




Example 3: Disable selected scheduled jobs

PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Where-Object {!$_.Credential} | Disable-ScheduledJob



This command disables scheduled job do not include a credential. Jobs without credentials run with the permission of the user who created them.

The command uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get all scheduled jobs on the computer. A pipeline operator sends the scheduled jobs to the Where-Object cmdlet, which
selects scheduled jobs that do not have credentials. The command uses the not (!) operator and references the Credential property of the scheduled job. Another pipel
ine operator sends the selected scheduled jobs to the Disable-ScheduledJob cmdlet, which disables them.




Example 4: Disable scheduled jobs on a remote computer

PS C:\>Invoke-Command -ComputerName Srv01, Srv10 -ScriptBlock {Disable-ScheduledJob -Name TestJob}



This command disables the TestJob scheduled job on two remote computers, Srv01 and Srv10.

The command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Disable-ScheduledJob command on the Srv01 and Srv10 computers. The command uses the Name parameter of Disable-Sche
duledJob to select the TestJob scheduled job on each computer.




Example 5: Disable a scheduled job by its global ID

The first command demonstrates one way of finding the GlobalID of a scheduled job. The command uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get the scheduled jobs on the compu
ter. A pipeline operator (|) sends the scheduled jobs to the Format-Table cmdlet which displays the Name, GlobalID, and Command properties of each job in a table.
PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Format-Table -Property Name, GlobalID, Command -Autosize
Name GlobalId Command
---- -------- -------
ArchiveProjects1 a26a0b3d-b4e6-44d3-8b95-8706ef621f7c C:\Scripts\Archive-DxProjects.ps1
Inventory 3ac37e5d-84c0-4a8f-9661-7e88ebb8f914 \\Srv01\Scripts\Get-FullInventory.ps1
Backup-Scripts 4d0cc6be-c082-48d1-baec-1bd8278f3c81 Copy-Item C:\CurrentScripts\*.ps1 -Destination C:\BackupScripts
Test-HelpFiles d77020ca-f20d-42be-86c8-fc64df97db90 .\Test-HelpFiles.ps1
Test-HelpFiles 2f1606d2-c6cf-4bef-8b1c-ae36a9cc9934 .\Test-DomainHelpFiles.ps1

The second command uses the Get-ScheduledJob cmdlet to get the scheduled jobs on the computer. A pipeline operator (|) sends the scheduled jobs to the Where-Object c
mdlet, which selects the scheduled job with the specified global ID. Another pipeline operator sends the job to the Disable-ScheduledJob cmdlet, which disables it.
PS C:\>Get-ScheduledJob | Where-Object {$_.GlobalID = d77020ca-f20d-42be-86c8-fc64df97db90} | Disable-ScheduledJob



This examples shows how to disable a scheduled job by using its global identifier. The value of the GlobalID property of a scheduled job is a unique identifier (GUID)
. Use the GlobalID value when precision is required, such as when you are disabling scheduled jobs on multiple computers.
