Options to monitor a PC without using SCOM?

Question

How can I monitor a scheduled job on a PC without using SCOM. We have a request to monitor some scheduled jobs on some PCs, but we don't want to use SCOM to monitor individual PCs.
Can I use PowerShell or anything else to accomplish this task?
Thanks.

You may use following vbscript
set Service =CreateObject("schedule.service")
'computer1 is the computer name which you want to monitor schedule job an without scom agent
computername="computer1"
call Service.Connect(computername)
dim rootFolder
set rootFolder = Service.GetFolder("\")
dim taskCollection
set taskCollection = rootFolder.getTasks(0)
dim result
dim TaskName
result="OK"
TaskName=""
if taskCollection.count > 0 then
     dim registeredTask
         for each registeredTask in taskCollection
              if registeredTask.LastTaskResult = 1 then
                   result="NOT OK"
                  TaskName = TaskName  &  registeredTask.Name & ", "
              end if
          next
end if
if result="OK" then
   msgbox "All schedule task in " & computername & " run successfully"
else
   msgbox "The following tasks run unsuccessful in computer " &  computername & vblf & left(TaskName, len(taskName)-1)
end if
