Transcript Logging – Why you should do it
I’d been writing PowerShell scripts for a couple of years before I came to athena health, and had a pretty good feel for how I liked to do things. I knew about Transcript logging, but it was so inelegant. Most of the time it didn’t capture much anyway because I really do believe in running clean scripts. A good script shouldn’t have any problems, just run and not really return any feedback. Especially if it’s running as a scheduled task–no one’s there to read it anyway! And that’s the rub, if you’re not there to see what went wrong, how do you troubleshoot it? Logging, of course!
