Remove Old Scheduled Tasks (Ivanti EPM)

Deletes outdated scheduled tasks from Ivanti EPM based on the next run date in LD_TASK, with simple name-based exclusions, via MBSDK (MsgSDK.asmx).

Requirements

• Windows PowerShell 5.1
• Read access to SQL database LDMS (table dbo.LD_TASK)
• Network access to the EPM Core MBSDK endpoint
• Account permitted to delete tasks via MBSDK

Configure (top of script)

$dataSource = "InstanceBDD"            # SQL Server/instance
$user       = "usrlandeskRead"         # SQL read-only login
$PassSQL    = "password"               # SQL password
$database   = "LDMS"                    # Database

$mycreds = Get-Credential -Credential "domaine\\dwuibail_adm"  # EPM account
$ldWS    = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "http://serverlandesk.leblogosd.lan/MBSDKService/MsgSDK.asmx?WSDL" -Credential $mycreds

Behavior

Loads dbo.LD_TASK and iterates tasks: -- Default retention: 30 days -- Skips names matching PORTAL and Download patch content

When NEXT_START is older than retention, calls: -- $ldWS.DeleteTask($taskid)

Run

powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Remove-OldScheduledTasks.ps1
