Features and Requirements
- The utility is meant to be run on the client machine.
- It is ideally triggered as a logon/logoff script by a Group Policy.
- Any files that the script needs to access should be accessible from a client device.
- It can be used to log to a file, send to Teams, or both.
- The utility requires at least PowerShell 5.0.
This utility has been tested on Windows 10, Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2016.
Configuration
Here’s a list of all the command line switches and example configurations.
