NAME Enable-JobTrigger
SYNOPSIS
Enables the job triggers of scheduled jobs.
SYNTAX
Enable-JobTrigger [-InputObject] <ScheduledJobTrigger[]> [-Confirm] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
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. 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 was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
PARAMETERS

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject <ScheduledJobTrigger[]>
Specifies the job trigger to enable. Enter a variable that contains ScheduledJobTrigger objects or type a command or expression that gets
ScheduledJobTriger objects, such as a Get-JobTrigger command. You can also pipe a ScheduledJobTrigger object to Enable-JobTrigger .
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false

Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
Microsoft.PowerShell.ScheduledJob.ScheduledJobTrigger
You can pipe job triggers to Enable-JobTrigger .
OUTPUTS
None
This cmdlet does not generate any output.
NOTES
Enable-JobTrigger * does not generate errors or warnings if you enable a job trigger that is already enabled.
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 {$_.Frequency -eq "AtLogon"} | Enable-JobTrigger}
This command re-enables the AtLogon job triggers on the DeployPackage scheduled job on the Server01 remote computer.
The command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run the commands on the Server01 computer. The remote command uses the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet to get the
job triggers of the DeployPackage scheduled job. A pipeline operator sends the job triggers to the Where-Object cmdlet which returns only AtLogon job
triggers. A pipeline operator sends the AtLogon job triggers to the Enable-JobTrigger cmdlet, which enables them.
Example 4: Display disabled job triggers
PS C:\\>Get-ScheduledJob | Get-JobTrigger | where {!$_.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.
