Exchange a PowerShell session login record

you will find it useful to output session records to a log file, for example, to help you save all history commands and to determine if the execution of the automation script is successful. In this section, we'll focus on creating a PowerShell log record.

The steps are as follows:

1. Create a record using the start-transcript command

Start-transcript-path c:\logfile.txt

2. After executing several commands

3. stopping log records

Stop-transcript

4. View the log file and record all the actions we've just made

So how does a log record work?

when you turn on PowerShell when logging, you can specify the path and file name of the log file that will be used to record the output of the Run command. Specifying the path is optional, and if you do not specify a path, a file with a random file name will be created under your profile path to see:

650) this.width=650; "title=" 04.png "style=" height:139px;width:720px; "border=" 0 "hspace=" 0 "src=" http:// S3.51cto.com/wyfs02/m02/59/94/wkiol1tyqx3b9ggqaadrmicjzu8743.jpg "width=" 720 "height=" 139 "alt=" Wkiol1tyqx3b9ggqaadrmicjzu8743.jpg "/>

Record information:

when we are done, we can use Stop-transcript command to stop recording, or launch directly PowerShell session. If, of course, the next time you log information, you can use the parameter -append to append the log information to the file where the log information already exists. Of course, you need to specify the file name and path using the-path parameter.

you can record each time the entire session is logged into the log file, so that we need to in the config file if Start-transcript command to the user profile so that the command is called every time the session is started, but keep in mind that we need to specify the path and file name of the log file, and we need to use the -append parameter append log information.
