Syntax

Invoke-TroubleshootingPack

Description

The Invoke-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet runs a troubleshooting pack in either interactive or unattended mode. A troubleshooting pack determines the root causes of issues, resolves the issues, and verifies that the issues were resolved. The cmdlet can save reports that detail issues and resolutions.

In interactive mode, you can select the resolutions to use and provide input to interactions with the troubleshooting pack. In unattended mode, the troubleshooting pack determines which resolutions to use at run time. While in unattended mode, if the troubleshooting pack requires input, you need to provide answers or specify an answer file. To create an answer file, use the Get-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet.

You can save the result report and the debug report, along with XSL and any linked files. Both reports contain the issues and resolutions. The debug report contains additional information.

Examples

Example 1: Run a troubleshooting pack

PS C:\> Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Windows\Diagnostics\System\Audio" | Invoke-TroubleshootingPack

This example runs the Audio pack in interactive mode. This example does not save reports.

The command uses the Get-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet to get a DiagPack object and pipes it to the Invoke-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet.

Example 2: Save troubleshooting reports

PS C:\> $Audio = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Windows\Diagnostics\System\Audio"
PS C:\> Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $Audio -Result "C:\DiagResult"

This example runs the Audio pack in interactive mode and saves the results to a folder.

The first command uses the Get-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet to get a DiagPack object and stores it in the $Audio variable.

The second command invokes the troubleshooting pack stored in $Audio. The pack saves reports in the specified folder.

Example 3: Run a troubleshooting pack in unattended mode

PS C:\> $Audio = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Windows\Diagnostics\System\Audio"
PS C:\> Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $Audio -AnswerFile "AudioAnswerFile.xml" -Unattended

This example runs the Audio pack in unattended mode with a specified answer file.

The first command uses the Get-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet to get a DiagPack object and stores it in the $Audio variable.

The second command invokes the troubleshooting pack stored in $Audio in unattended mode. The command specifies an answer file, previously created by using the Get-TroubleshootingPack cmdlet.
