This PowerShell script makes available a pipeable function that timestamps a command, logs the command, and captures the output of the command to a file.
When first executed, this script will create a folder with the fully qualified name of the computer under C:\users\public A log file with the name of the incident will be created and output from the make-log function will be appended to it with timestamps.
There are two ways to use the make-log function:
The first way:
Assign your output to a variable, then pass the variable to make-log
$example = get-aduser sampleUser
make-log -entry $example
The second way, which is the easiest way:
Simply pipe your command to make-log
get-aduser -filter * | make-log
Note: currently when you do this with a command that returns multiple objects it will log each object separately.
This function will download the Sysinternals tool Autoruns and launch it when finished.
You can disable the automatic launch of Autoruns when download completes by using the dontAutoStart and setting it to True
Example:
get-autoruns -dontAutoStart True : This will download autoruns and it will not automatically launch it when the download completes.
get-autoruns or get-autoruns -dontAutoStart False will both download autoruns and it will be launched when the download completes.
This function will copy all of the files in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder to the $dataPath, which is C:\Users\Public\{$FullyQualifiedComputerName}
