I need to write a script that queries 4 servers regarding the status of
schedueled jobs in win 2000 and win2k3 and display the status in an asp page

Is there a WMI or any other object class that can return schedueled jobs
infos in vb script   not created using either a script or AT.exe.
On MSDN, I ubnderstood Win32_ScheduledJob cannot return information about
jobs that are either created by or modified by the Scheduled Task wizard.

Thanks for your help

You can use ITaskScheduler to manipulatge the jobs that are created using
the scheduled tasks.

I doubt if this could be done using a vbscript, but you could use .net or
c/c++ to acheive this. Below is a sample code which uses c for the same. You
can also check the link at

which has a implementaion variation of the above code.

#include <windows.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <ole2.h>
#include <mstask.h>
#include <msterr.h>
#include <wchar.h>

#define TASKS_TO_RETRIEVE          5

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 HRESULT hr = S_OK;
 ITaskScheduler *pITS;

 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 // Call CoInitialize to initialize the COM library and
 // then call CoCreateInstance to get the Task Scheduler object.
 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
 if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
 {
   hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CTaskScheduler,
                         NULL,
                         CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                         IID_ITaskScheduler,
                         (void **) &pITS);
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
     CoUninitialize();
     return hr;
   }
 }
 else
 {
   return hr;
 }

 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 // Call ITaskScheduler::Enum to get an enumeration object.
 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 IEnumWorkItems *pIEnum;
 hr = pITS->Enum(&pIEnum);
 pITS->Release();
 if (FAILED(hr))
 {
   CoUninitialize();
   return hr;
 }

 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 // Call IEnumWorkItems::Next to retrieve tasks. Note that
 // this example tries to retrieve five tasks for each call.
 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 LPWSTR *lpwszNames;
 DWORD dwFetchedTasks = 0;
 while (SUCCEEDED(pIEnum->Next(TASKS_TO_RETRIEVE,
                               &lpwszNames,
                               &dwFetchedTasks))
                 && (dwFetchedTasks != 0))
 {
   ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
   // Process each task. Note that this example prints the
   // name of each task to the screen.
   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
   while (dwFetchedTasks)
   {
      wprintf(L"%s\n", lpwszNames[--dwFetchedTasks]);
      CoTaskMemFree(lpwszNames[dwFetchedTasks]);
   }
   CoTaskMemFree(lpwszNames);
 }

 pIEnum->Release();
 CoUninitialize();
 return S_OK;

"Thanks, I searched the web site and wasn't able to find other versions (vb
or C#). have you the url for those varitions.
While I was looking for this info, I ran across the schtasks shipped with
win2k3.
It is interesting but when I run it from DOS "schtasks /query" I get 3
fields, taskname", "Next run time" and "status". All fields are populated
except the status one,it is empty.
Any idea

Hello,

You may take a look at this Task Scheduler Library:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/tsnewlib.asp

It provide a Library project which can be used in VB.NET and C#.

Sincerely,

The status is displayed only if the job had previously errored out or if the
task is currently running.

Bascially, if you do not see a status while looking at the scheduled task in
explorer, then most likely you would not see one from the schtasks  as well.
