Start-transcript in a background process

Question

is there a way to handle start-transcript in a background process? I have a script launched in background. almost everything works fine, except logging with start-transcript? in

Answer 1

You cannot do it, non-interactive PowerShell hosts (in your case background job) don't support host output Cmdlets like Start-Transcript, Write-Host etc. You'd have to use you own logging functions or output messages to file via Out-File for example.
