Question

I want find out if there is any Exchange database schedule running, or will run in the next few hours. However, I couldn’t figure out how to compare the scheduleinterval object with a variable I created with get-date or (get-date).addhours(20)

The scheduleInterval I am looking at is

C:\>(get-mailboxdatabase | where {$_.name -like 'database'}).maintenanceschedule  | Get-Member

   TypeName: Microsoft.Exchange.Common.ScheduleInterval

Name         MemberType Definition
----         ---------- ----------
CompareTo    Method     int CompareTo(System.Object value), int CompareTo(Microsoft.Exchange.Common.ScheduleInterval...
ConjointWith Method     bool ConjointWith(Microsoft.Exchange.Common.ScheduleInterval other)
Contains     Method     bool Contains(Microsoft.Exchange.Common.WeekDayAndTime dt), bool Contains(System.DateTime dt...
Equals       Method     bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode  Method     int GetHashCode()
GetType      Method     type GetType()
Overlaps     Method     bool Overlaps(Microsoft.Exchange.Common.ScheduleInterval other)
ToString     Method     string ToString()
EndDay       Property   System.DayOfWeek EndDay {get;}
EndHour      Property   System.Int32 EndHour {get;}
EndMinute    Property   System.Int32 EndMinute {get;}
EndTime      Property   Microsoft.Exchange.Common.WeekDayAndTime EndTime {get;}
Length       Property   System.TimeSpan Length {get;}
StartDay     Property   System.DayOfWeek StartDay {get;}
StartHour    Property   System.Int32 StartHour {get;}
StartMinute  Property   System.Int32 StartMinute {get;}
StartTime    Property   Microsoft.Exchange.Common.WeekDayAndTime StartTime {get;}

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Here a way to test if a job is running at the Get-Date value.
Maybe the comparison can be done casting starttime/endtime properties to [datetime] but I can’t test, I’m just supposing..

$a = (get-mailboxdatabase | where {$_.name -like 'database'}).maintenanceschedule
$b = Get-date # you can add days to check events in the future
if ( $a.startday, $a.endday -contains $b.dayofweek)
{
  if ( $a.starthour -le $b.hour -and $a.endhour -ge $b.hour)
  {
    if (  $a.startminute -le $b.minute -and $a.endminute -ge $b.minute)
    {
       Write-Host "Jod scheduled is running at this time!"
    }
  }
}
