Enable-SbecBcd

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

Synopsis

Enables and configures the event forwarding mode in the BCD settings.

Description

The Enable-SbecBcd cmdlet configures the Setup and Boot Event Collector settings in the BCD. This enables the /event flag, and sets the collector host IP address, port, and the encryption key in /eventsettings in Boot Configuration Data (BCD).

This operation has no immediate effect on the current connections; it takes effect after the operating system reboots.

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. WIM images do not normally contain the BCD files, there is rarely a requirement to place them there. Instead, Windows Setup creates the BCD settings when it extracts the image from WIM onto the hard drive.

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

Parameters

-BcdStore

Specifies the full path of the BCD store.

-BusParameters

Specifies the bus parameters to use to select the NIC of the target computer for communication. This value overrides the default choice of the first supported adapter.

This value applies to all the computers that use this image; it can be used only if the hardware of these computers is sufficiently homogeneous.

To find the value of bus parameters for a specific NIC on a machine, open Device Manager, and in Network Adapters select the desired device. Right-click the device, select Properties, select the Details tab, and then select Location information. It will display a string of the form PCI bus X, device Y, function Z. The bus parameter to specify in this example is “X,Y,Z”.

-CollectorIp

Specifies the IPv4 address of the host on which the Boot Event Collector is located.

-CollectorPort

Specifies the port number (common for the target and collector).

-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.

-CreateEventSettings

Indicates that this operation explicitly creates the {eventsettings} key, which is required for the BCD files generated by WDS.

-Credential

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

-DismLogPath

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

-Id

Specifies the ID of the entry to modify, without the curly braces. The BCD settings may contain entries for multiple boot images (when a computer has multiple operating system versions installed). When the settings for another operating system than the currently booted one (or the default one in an offline image) must be modified, you can use this parameter to select the entry.

-Key

Specifies the encryption key for the communication. This value must match the key specified in the collector configuration for this target.

-Local

Indicates that this operation occurs on the local computer. This mode also allows the extra control over the BCD store of where the settings are applied.

-Path

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

-Session

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

—————–Example 1—————–
Configure the BCD settings for a remote session
PS C:\> Enable-SbecBcd -Session $MyPSSession -CollectorIp 192.168.0.1 -CollectorPort “50000” -Key “w.x.y.z”
This command configures the BCD settings for a remote session.
