Enable-SbecAutologger

Enable-SbecAutologger is accessible with the help of BootEventCollector module. To configure BootEventCollector, go through this link.

Synopsis

Enables the forwarding of the events to the Setup and Boot Event Collector in the AutoLogger settings.

Description

The Enable-SbecAutologger cmdlet enables the forwarding of the events to the Setup and Boot Event Collector in the AutoLogger settings in the registry. This operation has no immediate effect on the currently running log sessions; it takes effect after the operating system reboots and the AutoLogger service restarts the log sessions.

The changes can be applied to the local computer, to a remote computer, or to an offline disk image.

To operate on a local computer, specify the Local parameter. Enabling forwarding on the computer that runs the Collector service makes sense only if it sends the data to a Collector on a different computer. Otherwise, the in-kernel module is not able to connect to the Collector. However, you can copy the PowerShell BootEventCollector module to the other computers, where you can use it for local configuration.

To operate on a remote computer, specify either the ComputerName or Session parameter. Windows PowerShell remoting is used to perform the remote operations.

To operate on an offline (WIM or VHD) image, use the Path parameter.

This operation configures the event log session NT Kernel Logger (creating it if it does not exist) and, if present, EventLog-System and SetupPlatform to send events to the Boot Event Collector. You can configure other log sessions by specifying the Logger or PermLogger parameter.

By default for the sessions NT Kernel Logger and EventLog-System, or when using the Logger parameter, the event log sessions are configured in such a manner that the event forwarding from them to the Collector becomes automatically disabled once the computer completes the boot sequence and the logging subsystem on it becomes fully functional. To let a session forward the events all the time, as is done by default for the session SetupPlatform, use the PermLogger parameter.

You can enable forwarding only for the sessions in the real-time mode (as opposed to writing to a file), so by default the file-based sessions are left unchanged. You can use the ForceLogger parameter to change such sessions to the real-time mode and enable forwarding.

This command also configures the Debug Print filter registry settings to pass, at minimum, Bugcheck messages for a system crash.

You must enable both AutoLogger and BCD settings to forward events to the Boot Event Collector.

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies the names of the computers on which you want to perform the operation. You can specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a NetBIOS name, or an IP address for each computer. For more information, see Invoke-CimMethod on TechNet.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ControlSet

Specifies the control set key for the registry path.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Credential

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DismLogPath

Specifies the path of the file for the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) log when mounting images.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceLogger

Forces the file-based AutoLogger sessions to real-time mode before enabling event forwading for them. Without this switch, they remain unchanged.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Local

Indicates to perform this operation on the local computer. This mode enables control over the registry path of where settings are applied.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Logger

Specifies the AutoLogger sessions for which to enable forwarding. The forwarding for these sessions is automatically disabled after the operating system starts. Specifying a session explicitly in Logger or PermLogger overrides its defaults.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-NoDefaultLoggers

Indicates that this operation does not automatically add the default set of logger sessions.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specifies an array of full paths to the offline Windows image (WIM or VHD) files to which to apply the settings. If a WIM file contains multiple images, all of them are modified.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PermLogger

Specifies the AutoLogger sessions for which to enable forwarding. The forwarding on these sessions remains enabled after the operating system starts.

Specifying a session explicitly in Logger or PermLogger overrides the defaults for it.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Session

Specifies the PSSession objects connected to the remote target computers. Enter a session object, such as the output of Get-PSSession or New-PSSession, or an array of these objects.

Type:PSSession[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SystemHive

Specifies the full path to the system hive for the registry.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

—————–Example 1—————–
Enable AutoLogger on a computer
PS C:\> Enable-SbecAutologger -ComputerName “srv01”
This command enables AutoLogger settings on the computer named srv01.

—————–Example 2—————–
Enable AutoLogger for network setup images
PS C:\> Enable-SbecAutologger -Path “boot.wim”,”install.wim” -ForceLogger
This command configures the AutoLogger settings in the two images used for network-based setup, and forces the switch of the SetupPlatform session from the file destination to the event collector destination.

—————–Example 3—————–
Enable AutoLogger in a VHD image
PS C:\> Enable-SbecAutologger -Path “NanoServer.vhd” -Logger “Microsoft-Windows-Setup” -ForceLogger
This command configures the AutoLogger in a VHD image, and switches the log session of the post-install setup (as used in Windows Nano Server) to the Boot Event Collector destination.
