I have the below code and currently it loads all the information on screen. I want it to log to a log file on D:\Apps\Logs.
The log file needs to have the name of the computer it is loading against - so COMPUTERNAME.log
Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks

Put this at the top of your file:
$Logfile = "D:\Apps\Logs\$(gc env:computername).log"
Function LogWrite
{
Param ([string]$logstring)
Add-content $Logfile -value $logstring
}
Then replace your Write-host
calls with LogWrite
.
A function that takes these principles a little further.
- Add's timestamps - can't have a log without timestamps.
- Add's a level (uses INFO by default) meaning you can highlight big issues.
Allows for optional console output. If you don't set a log destination, it simply pumps it out.
Function Write-Log {
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]
[ValidateSet("INFO","WARN","ERROR","FATAL","DEBUG")]
[String]
$Level = "INFO",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]
$Message,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]
[string]
$logfile
)
$Stamp = (Get-Date).toString("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss")
$Line = "$Stamp $Level $Message"
If($logfile) {
Add-Content $logfile -Value $Line
}
Else {
Write-Output $Line
}
}
