Hello,
I cannot figure out how to get this done. I want to Start-Transcript and then log all the verbose information being done inside an Invoke-Command.
Here is my script. I have tried putting the logging inside the scriptblock using the $using variable anything I try fails.
# Resets Counters
$filesLocked = 0
$filesDeleted = 0
$foldersDeleted = 0
# Sets Logging Parameters
$KeepLogsFor = 15
$VerbosePreference = "Continue"
$LogPath = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
Get-ChildItem "$LogPath\*.log" | Where LastWriteTime -LT (Get-Date).AddDays(-$KeepLogsFor) | Remove-Item -Confirm:$false
$LogPathName = Join-Path -Path $LogPath -ChildPath "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)-$(Get-Date -Format 'MM-dd-yyyy').log"
Start-Transcript $LogPathName -Append
# Connects to Home Drives & Finds Files / Folders in CIP to be Deleted
Invoke-Command -ComputerName <servername> -Scriptblock {
$dirs = Get-Childitem -Path "E:\Home" -Exclude Windows -Directory;
ForEach ($dir in $dirs) {
$newDirs = "$dir\Documents\CIP\"
$testpath = Test-Path $newDirs
If ($testpath) {
#Deletes Files Only
$childItemsFile = Get-ChildItem -Path $newDirs -Include st_* -Exclude STAC,upload -File -Recurse -Force
ForEach ($childItemFile in $childItemsFile) {
Try {
[IO.File]::OpenWrite($childItemFile).close()
Remove-Item -Path $childItemFile -Force -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop
$filesDeleted++ }
Catch {
$filesLocked++
}
}
#Deletes Folders after making sure they are empty
Get-ChildItem -Path $newDirs -Include st_* -Exclude STAC,upload -Recurse -Force |
ForEach-Object {
If($_.PSIsContainer -eq $true) {
If ((Get-ChildItem -Path $_.FullName) -eq $null) {
Remove-Item -Path $_.FullName -Force -Verbose
$foldersDeleted++
}
}
}
}
}
Return "Files Locked: $filesLocked Files Deleted: $filesDeleted Folders Deleted: $foldersDeleted"
} -Credential $cred
Stop-TranscriptFrom what I have read for some reason verbose logging will not transfer thru the invoke-command back to the machine that the script is running on. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phil
