.SYNOPSIS This is a simple sample test script that illustrates how to use the LogTools module functions most effectively. This is a simple version of the sample scripts provided with the module, which illustrates the basic functionality of easily hooking text file logging into your scripts. .DESCRIPTION This is a simple sample test script that illustrates how to use the LogTools module functions most effectively. This is a simple version of the sample scripts provided with the module, which illustrates the basic functionality of easily hooking text file logging into your scripts. There is also an advanced version, called Test-LogToolsSampleScriptAdvanced.ps1, which demonstrates more functionality and a few more advanced scripting techniques. .EXAMPLE PS C:\Scripts> .\Test-LogToolsSampleScriptSimple.ps1 This example simply runs the script. Test logged output will be logged to C:\Scripts\Logs\MyScript_YYYY-MM-DD_(HOSTNAME).log .EXAMPLE PS C:\Scripts> .\Test-LogToolsSampleScriptSimple.ps1 -LogDir C:\Scripts\Logs This example runs the script using the -LogDir paramater, which allows you to specify the target log directory when running the script. Test logged output will be logged to C:\Scripts\Logs\MyScript_YYYY-MM-DD_(HOSTNAME).log .EXAMPLE PS C:\Scripts> .\Test-LogToolsSampleScriptSimple.ps1 -Verbose This example runs the script in Verbose mode. When run in Verbose mode, all Write-Verbose statements will be written in to the console (as normal), as well as written to the logfile. When Verbose mode is NOT enabled, all Write-Verbose statements will NOT be written to the console, but they will be written to the logfile. Test logged output will be logged to C:\Scripts\Logs\MyScript_YYYY-MM-DD_(HOSTNAME).log .EXAMPLE PS C:\Scripts> .\Test-LogToolsSampleScriptSimple.ps1 -Debug This example runs the script in Debug mode. When run in Debug mode, all Write-Debug statements will be processed and will prompt for interaction (as normal) depending on debug preference. Write-Debug messages will also be written to the logfile in this mode. When Debug mode is NOT enabled, all Write-Debug statements will NOT be processed, but they will be written to the logfile. Test logged output will be logged to C:\Scripts\Logs\MyScript_YYYY-MM-DD_(HOSTNAME).log .NOTES Version 1.0.4 Author: Jeff Symoens (jeff.symoens@microsoft.com), Microsoft Consulting Services Created: 05/04/2022 Last Modified: 05/10/2022 Disclaimer: This script is provided "as-is".
