Test-SbecConfig is accessible with the help of BootEventCollector module. To configure BootEventCollector, go through this link.
Synopsis
Validates a configuration.
Description
The Test-SbecConfig cmdlet validates a configuration for the Setup and Boot Event Collector.
This cmdlet checks a configuration for validity without applying it. This is similar to running the command bevtcol.exe -checkOnly, except that Test-SbecConfig uses the running service to perform the validation.
The values that Test-SbecConfig returns are a subset of those returned by Set-SbecActiveConfig, because Test-SbecConfig does not apply the configuration.
You must have the Builtin Administrator privilege to run this command.
This cmdlet is also available using the alias Validate-SbecConfig.
Parameters
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet on the remote computers through a remote session. Enter a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet or an array of these objects. The default is to run the cmdlet on the local computer. For more information, see About_CimSession.

| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |

Syntax
Test-SbecConfig [-Content] <String[]> [-Continue] [[-ComputerName] <String[]>] [[-CimSession] <CimSession[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
—————–Example 1—————–
Validate a configuration
PS C:\> $res = Test-SbecConfig -Content $NewBootConfig -Continue
This command validates the configuration in $NewBootConfig, and then stores the results in the $res variable. Because the Continue parameter is specified, the command does not throw an error if any errors occur.
—————–Example 2—————–
Validate a configuration using the pipeline
PS C:\> Get-Content BootConfig.xml | Test-SbecConfig -Continue | Format-List
This command validates the configuration from a file. Format-List prints all the returned information without reducing it.
—————–Example 3—————–
Validate a configuration and throw on error
PS C:\> $res = Test-SbecConfig -Content (Get-Content BootConfig.xml)
Validate the configuration from a file and throw on error.
