Examples

1: Stop all currently running jobs.
PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.Status -eq "Running" }
PS C:\> $Job | Stop-SCJob
The first command gets all VMM job objects, passes each job object to the "where" filter to select only the jobs that are currently running, and stores the objects in the $Job object array.

The second command passes each object in $Job to the Stop-Job cmdlet, which stops each running job.
2: Stop a specific running job asynchronously.
PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.ResultName -eq "VM01" -and $_.ID -eq "cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177" }
PS C:\> Stop-SCJob -Job $Job 
The first command gets all VMM job objects and, from the results, selects only the job on VM01 identified by job ID cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177, and then stores thie object in the $Job variable.

The second command stops the job and returns the stopped job object to the user.
