Detailed Description
The Get-SCJob cmdlet gets one or more Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) job objects on the VMM server. A job is a series of steps that are performed sequentially to complete an action in the VMM environment. You can retrieve job objects based on specified criteria.
In VMM, you can group a series of jobs and run them together as a set. For example, a complex action in VMM, such as creating a template, might incorporate a series of jobs, known as a job group. For examples that show you how to use job groups, see the following cmdlets: New-SCVMTemplate, New-SCHardwareProfile, New-SCVirtualDiskDrive, New-SCVirtualDVDDrive, New-SCVirtualMachine, and Set-SCVirtualCOMPort.
Parameters
-All
Indicates that this cmdlet retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

Examples
Example 1: Get all running jobs
This command retrieves all running jobs.
PS C:\> Get-Job -Running
Example 2: Get all failed jobs
The first command gets all job objects with a status of Failed, and then uses the pipeline operator to pass each object to the Format-List cmdlet. The command stores the name, ID, and Status in the $VMMJobs variable.
The second command displays the information stored in $VMMJobs. In this case, the command displays the name, ID, and Status of each running job.
PS C:\> $VMMJobs = Get-SCJob | where { $_.Status -eq "Failed" } | Format-List -Property Name, ID, Status
PS C:\> $VMMJobs
Example Example 3: Get information about the .NET type, methods, and properties of VMM job objects.
This command uses the Get-Member cmdlet to display the .NET type, properties, methods, and events for the job objects that Get-SCJob gets.
PS C:\> Get-SCJob | Get-Member
