You can't get `Get-ScheduledTask` at windows 2008 R2 as it was introduced for Windows 2012 and nobody backported it. For more see the link at [github][1]. The comment that describes the situation the best is: > Hi @dronkoff - This module is supported on PS 4.0. However, the > problem isn't in the version of PowerShell.

The workaround ---------- The way around it, is to use `schtask` with correct switches. If you have it in the `Microsoft` folder as I have it in the example you just need to run: schtasks /tn \Microsoft\ServiceNow /query /fo LIST The output: Folder: \Microsoft HostName: XXXXXACL06 TaskName: \Microsoft\ServiceNow Next Run Time: 7/4/2018 8:16:22 AM Status: Ready Logon Mode: Interactive only If you want more details you can use the `/v` (verbose) switch: schtasks /tn \Microsoft\ServiceNow /query /v > service_now_details.txt **Edit** - to find a pattern If you have only pattern to search you have to use some additional tool to search the string. The windows natively supports `findstr` (or `Select-String` (short `sls`) in powershell): To find the task name you can use then: schtasks /query /fo LIST | findstr "ServiceNow" OR even with wild charter schtasks /query /fo LIST | findstr "ServiceNo*" OR the `powershell` way: schtasks /query /fo LIST | sls 'ServiceNo*' The output in all cases will be something like this (since my task is named exactly `ServiceNow`): `TaskName: \Microsoft\ServiceNow` [1]: https://github.com/PowerShell/ComputerManagementDsc/issues/108
