ISCSI Target Scheduled Snapshots

Question

I know there are cmdlets to snapshot a target but is there a built in way to schedule snapshots?
Alternatively, is there a cmdlet to list snapshots for a target so I can create a script to run on a schedule to remove old snapshots and create new ones.

Yes, you can use Schedule Snapshot Wizard to have automatic snapshots. See:

and Schedules

Alternatively you can use cmdlets to deal with these tasks (PowerShell would give you more control over
creation / deletion of a snapshots. See:
iSCSI Target Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell

The ones should be of your interest are Checkpoint-IscsiVirtualDisk and Remove-IscsiVirtualDiskSnapshot cmdlets.
Also you may use SMI-S and WMI if you want to use say C# or C++ and not PowerShell. 
Some more of the cmdlets use links (including samples). See:

Hope this helped a bit. Good luck :)
