I would like to alter a Visual Cron job to Disabled and Activate via Power Shell and not the GUI. Is this possible?

I would study the Powershell samples in the API folder of installation folder. Everything you can do with the .NET API you can do with Powershell. However, we are not Powershell experts so we cannot support you with the exact lines for this but the Powershell script in the API folder should probably get you started.

Thanks, I see this as a workaround though, invoking the executable instead of using the API directly. This works but may give more overhead and less flexibility.
