A look at PowerShell jobs – Part 1

One of the cool new features of PowerShell v2 is remoting. We"™ve talked about it several times on the podcast and it is a huge topic with many facets. One piece of PowerShell remoting is the ability to create jobs. PowerShell jobs are kicked off locally or on remote machines and exist in their own independent runspaces. This allows you to do things like running tasks in parallel to improve efficiency. Traditionally, in PowerShell if you want to perform an action on a list of servers (for example) you loop through the servers one at a time and you have to wait until the task is finished on the 1st server before it starts on the 2nd server and so it progresses in a serial fashion. Jobs allow you to run these tasks simultaneously.
