Description
The Export-ScheduledTask cmdlet exports the definition of a scheduled task into an XML string.
Examples
Example 1: Export a scheduled task into an XML string.
PS C:\> Export-ScheduledTask -TaskName "UpdateDrivers" -TaskPath "\UpdateTasks\"
This command exports the UpdateDrivers scheduled task in the \UpdateTasks\ folder into an XML string. The command lists the XML string as its output.
Example 2: Export all scheduled task definitions that are in the UpdateTasks folder.
PS C:\> Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\UpdateTasks\" | Export-ScheduledTask
This command uses the Get-ScheduledTask cmdlet to get all scheduled tasks in the *\UpdateTasks* folder. The command pipes this information to the Export-ScheduledTasks cmdlet, which exports the definitions of these scheduled tasks. The command lists the XML string of each task as its output.

-TaskPath
Specifies an array of one or more paths for scheduled tasks in Task Scheduler namespace. You can use "*" for a wildcard character query. You can use \* for the root folder. To specify a full TaskPath you need to include the leading and trailing \. If you do not specify a path, the cmdlet uses the root folder.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
