  • This cmdlet requires a VMM job object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCJob cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Stop all currently running jobs

The first command gets all VMM job objects, passes each job object to the where statement to select only the jobs that are currently running, and then stores the objects in the $Job object array.

The second command passes each object in $Job to the Stop-Job cmdlet. That cmdlet stops each running job.

PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.Status -eq "Running" }
PS C:\> $Job | Stop-SCJob

Example 2: Stop a specific running job asynchronously

The first command gets all VMM job objects and, from the results, selects only the job on VM01 identified by job ID cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177, and then stores the object in the $Job variable.

The second command stops the job and returns the stopped job object.

PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.ResultName -eq "VM01" -and $_.ID -eq "cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177" }
PS C:\> Stop-SCJob -Job $Job
