[chef] RE: PowerShell script output: where does it go?

[Julian Varanini < >]

Hi Alex,
 
It depends on what output you need.  I have done the following to either gather output or to send output to chef for it to use.
 
1. Log output to a file using out-file
2. Put a sleep in the powershell script to give me the time to copy the temporary ps1 to another drive in order to troubleshoot any issues.
3. Use powershell_out  to send and receive strings from ruby/chef.
 
Hopefully this helps.
 
Thanks
 
Julian
