How can I `Enable All Tasks History` in PowerShell?
powershell, scheduled-tasks
Solution
After doing a bunch of research, I found that the History tab is just a view of a windows event log, displayed using MMC snapin. So really, all that button is doing is disabling / enabling the windows event log for the task scheduler. Here is the script to automate pushing of that button :
$logName = 'Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational'
$log = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogConfiguration $logName
$log.IsEnabled=$true
$log.SaveChanges()

Problem
In the task scheduler GUI it is easy to `Enable All Tasks History` See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11013132/how-can-i-enable-the-windows-server-task-scheduler-history-recording How can I Enable All Tasks History through PowerShell? I have looked at `Set-ScheduledTask` and `New-ScheduledTask`, but nothing useful there (as far as I can see).
