Is there a way to list all content deployment jobs on aspx page?

Question

Is there any way to get all local contentdeployment jobs from within web application code?

I'm trying to list all jobs on an aspx page in the backend of a site collection, but everytime I execute this:

ContentDeploymentJob.GetAllJobs()

an AccessDenied Exception raises, saying that the executing user is not a farm admin. If I try it with ElevatedPriviliges or Impersonation as farm admin it doesnt work too.

After a few months of not thinking about this issue I found an answer:

Execute the following PowerShell Script and it should work (tested on a standalone farm):

PS C:\Users\xxx> $contentService  = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
PS C:\Users\xxx> $contentService.RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied = $false
PS C:\Users\xxx> $contentService.Update()

Here my testing code (executed in a webpart):

try
{
    ContentDeploymentJobCollection jobs = ContentDeploymentJob.GetAllJobs();
    foreach (ContentDeploymentJob job in jobs)
    {
        BulletedList1.Items.Add(job.Name);
    }
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
     BulletedList1.Items.Add(ex.Message);
 }
