Get Scheduled task statistics

PowerShell Help
1

Hi can do most of what i want here, however im struggling to get the “Run Start” and “Run End” parameters to show through powershell, just lack of knowledge i guess.

Get-ScheduledTask | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo

gives me the below

LastRunTime : 07/04/2016 10:54:54
LastTaskResult : 267009
NextRunTime :
NumberOfMissedRuns : 0
TaskName : CacheTask
TaskPath : \Microsoft\Windows\Wininet
PSComputerName :

but i would like to see the “Run Start” and “Run End” parameters like you do when you open up the Task scheduler GUID

Edit actually Last run time would be “Run Start” so Just “Run End” needed really

Thanks

That information doesn’t appear to be available on the CIM class called by the cmdlet

If you’re referring to the information in the History tab of the Task Scheduler GUI, it’s getting that stuff from the event log (specifically: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational).

Dave thats perfect, i should be able to get what i need from there, thanks

just an update to this guys i found this script below, couldnt really get it working properly though, i can see the events start & stop with the relevant 200/201 codes but script just refuses to pick this up, tried on v2 & v4 PS

outputted:

 .\Get-taskruns.ps1 -TaskName "\EV-Clear-State" -computername PCNAME

Started                       Stopped                       Elapsed                       ReturnCode
-------                       -------                       -------                       ----------
