Answer 1

The history of scheduled tasks is not available in the Get-ScheduledTask cmdlet. What you can do is use Get-WinEvent to check the log Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational for the history of the task.

$TaskName = "\MyCoolTask"

# if your scheduled task is nested into a folder named 'Automations'
# $TaskName = "\Automations\MyCoolTask"

$events = @(
     Get-WinEvent  -FilterXml @"
     <QueryList>
      <Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational">
       <Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational">
        *[EventData/Data[@Name='TaskName']='$( $TaskName )']
       </Select>
      </Query>
     </QueryList>
"@  -ErrorAction Stop -MaxEvents 2
)
$events
