Powershell - Problem with Start-transcript using remoting
- by Sanjeev
I have a file transcript-test.ps1 with below contents
$log="TestLog{0:yyyyMMdd-HHmm}" -f
(Get-Date) $logfile =
'C:\logs\'+$log+'.txt'
Start-transcript -path $logfile -force
Echo "To test if this message gets logged"
Write-host "To test if this message gets logged"
logged" Stop-transcript
I try to run the script from lets say "box1" and the log file contains the below contents
********** Windows PowerShell Transcript Start Start
time: 20110105114050 Username :
domain\user Machine : BOX1
(Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service
Pack 2)
********** Transcript started, output file is
C:\logs\TestLog20110105-1140.txt
This should get logged in the log file C:\logs\TestLog20110105-1140.txt
********** Windows PowerShell Transcript End End time:
20110105114050
When I run the same script from another machine using below script I don't see any messages in the log file
Invoke-command {powershell.exe
-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -NoProfile -File C:\in ll\transcript-test.ps1} -computername
box1 -credential $credential
Contents of log file :
********** Windows PowerShell Transcript Start Start
time: 20110105114201 Username :
OX\qauser Machine : MODESIGNAU1
(Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service
Pack 2)
********** Windows PowerShell Transcript End End time:
20110105114201
Is there anyway to log the messages from the script to log file when invoked remotely ?
Thanks!
Sanjeev
