DESCRIPTION

The Enable-WdacBidTrace cmdlet enables Built-in Diagnostics Tracing (BidTrace) for troubleshooting Windows Data Access Components (Windows DAC).



For more information about data access tracing, see Data Access Tracing (Windows 8) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx) on

the Microsoft Developer Network.





PARAMETERS

-Path <String>

Specifies the full path of an application. This cmdlet enables BidTrace for the application that this parameter specifies.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ProcessId [<UInt32>]

Specifies a process ID. This cmdlet enables BidTrace for the process that has the ID that this parameter specifies.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Folder <String>

Specifies a folder. This cmdlet enables BidTrace for all applications under the folder that this cmdlet specifies.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-IncludeAllApplications <SwitchParameter>

Indicates that this cmdlet applies to all applications. If you specify this parameter, the cmdlet enables BidTrace for all applications.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Platform [<String>]

Specifies the platform architecture. This cmdlet enables BidTrace for the WDAC BidTrace settings that belong to the architecture that this parameter

specifies. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- 32-bit

-- 64-bit

-- All



The default value is 32-bit on a 32-bit process. The default value is 64-bit on a 64-bit process. If you run this cmdlet in a remote CIM session,

this parameter refers to the platform architecture on the remote computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS









OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#MSFT_WdacBidTrace[]







Example 1: Enable BidTrace for an application on a platform



PS C:\\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\\temp\\abc.exe" -Platform "32-bit"



This command enables the BidTrace for the application C:\\temp\\abc.exe on the 32-bit platform.





Example 2: Enable BidTrace for application by using a Process ID



PS C:\\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\\temp\\abc.exe" -ProcessId 1234 -Platform "32-bit"



This command enables the BidTrace for the application C:\\temp\\abc.exe on the 32-bit platform for a particular instance of abc.exe. The enabled

application has the Process ID 1234.





Example 3: Enable BidTrace for applications in a specified folder on the native platform



PS C:\\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Folder "C:\\temp"



This command enables a BidTrace for all applications located in C:\\temp on the native platform.





Example 4: Enable BidTrace for 64-bit applications



PS C:\\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -IncludeAllApplications -Platform "64-bit"



This command enables the BidTrace for all 64-bit applications.





Example 5: Enable and disable BidTrace for an application



PS C:\\> $BidSetting = Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\\temp\\abc.exe" -Platform "64-bit" -PassThru

PS C:\\> Disable-WdacBidTrace -InputObject $BidSetting



The first command enables the BidTrace for the 64-bit application C:\\temp\\abc.exe, and then stores the result in the $BidSetting variable. After you run

the first command, you can use abc.exe.



The second command disables BidTrace for the application stored in $BidSetting.
