Information LOGS.bat v1.6.3 is a wrapper that contains LOGS.PS1 v1.6.2 by John_E_M. It is from Technet Gallery, which is being retired. That is the the reason why this is now being hosted here for our Tenforums users.

LOGS.PS1 allows you to quickly collect information from a Windows 10 client machine: Main cmdlt functions: Invoke-WebRequest, Get-WinEvent, Get-WindowsUpdateLog, Get-WMIObject, Get-Printer, Get-Process, Select-String, SetupDiag.exe.
Designed to be run from File Explorer.

The LOGS.BAT file will create the LOGS.PS1 file in the same directory it is in, then launch it. It also handles elevation to Admin level if needed.

If you experience an issue running the BAT file Proceed to Step Four Legacy - manual creation and execution of Powershell PS1 file to create and run the PS1 Code in PowerShell ISE w/ Appropriate privileges





Step One [/i] Download the Batch file
Download the LOGS.bat file to your Desktop or Downloads folder.


Download Attachment 298506 CURRENTLY REMOVED



Step Two [/i] Run the batch file
Open File Explore, navigate to the folder you downloaded the LOGS.bat file to. Double click on LOGS.bat or right click on it and select Open.

DO NOT run directly from a Download as your anti-virus may object and prevent it from running.
Always download to your hard drive then run it from there.



When you launch LOGS.bat, you may see this:





If you do, click the Run button or uncheck Always ask before opening this file then click on the [B/Run[/B] button.

You will see the following Window where you can select what functions you want to run. Normally you will run it as shown below. The Event Viewer logs are only collected when requested.

EventSearch Output is unchecked by default as you can see.





If you select EventSearch Output then you will see the following Windows when the process completes:

This is Top "Errors" via EVTX:








Step Three [/i] Log Collection and description of logs collected:
The log collection tool will determine the %temp% location and create a “LOGS” folder there into which all collected logs will be transported.
This translates to C:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\LOGS
Once the Script has finished collecting logs you should see a pop-up from Explorer.exe which will open to the %temp%/LOGS location. This is what you would zip up to upload to a file sharing site, then post a link to in your Tenforums thread.

This is the LOGS folder and is opened in File Explorer automatically. This is what you would want to ZIP up then upload to a file sharing site. When done then post a link to it in your thread at Tenforums. It can be as large as 400MB, depending primarilly on the size of the EVTX folder, before you ZIP it. Once zipped, my test run went from 172MB down to 27MB.





This is an example of what Event logs (.evtx) are collected.





At the time of this writing the following logs are collected by the script:

• Major Event Logs including Application Event, System and Store Logs
• All Event logs are queried for the string “Error” and located errors are written to TOP-ERRORS.TXT:
• Top-Errors will display the most frequent errors experienced on a per day basis and sort these in descending order with the date, the message ID and provider from which the error was located – these can be used to quickly locate errors which have been experienced on the machine in ALL EVTX locations:
• Use the date and Provider Name to Investigate further in the actual logs on the machine – note that additional logs outside of Application and System Event are located under Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows in the Windows Event Viewer.
• Power management logs including powercfg /a, energy report and battery report if the machine is a laptop – these are stored in the /POWER folder under /LOGS
• Any files located in /WER on the system (Windows Error Reporting)
• DXDiag, MSINFO32 and Winsat logs
• A list of all installed applications on the system – this is useful to verify 3rd party software installed on the system – we also pull running processes under Get-Process.TXT
• WLAN diagnostics written to wlan.txt if the machine is WiFi enabled
• A CHKDKSK performed on the system reserved partition of the machine – this is achieved by quickly mounting and unmounting the system reserved partition to y: during the collection
• GPRESULT.TXT contains Group Policy and Domain information to verify if the machine is domain joined or has policies applied
• UPDATE-ERRORS.TXT contains a count of all 0x8######## errors located through regex scans on Windows-Update.log or WindowsUpdate.log respectively
• REG_SystemProductName.TXT contains the registry value for the SystemProduct – when invalid we have seen this cause issues with Windows Update

Step Four [/i] Legacy - manual creation and execution of Powershell PS1 file
Since you've had problems running the batch file, you can manually create and run the Powershell .PS1 file.
Open a command prompt.
Navigate to the folder you have LOGS.bat in. Lets use your Desktop for an example.
In the Command prompt window, copy and paste the following command:

MORE /E +10 "%userprofile%\Desktop\LOGS.bat" > "%userprofile%\Desktop\LOGS.PS1"
Or do it the long way using Notepad:
Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you have LOGS..bat stored in.
Click in an empty area and select New then Text Document. You should now have a file called New Text Document.txt in the folder.
Click on it then Press F2 or right click and select Rename. Name it LOGS.PS1.
Click on Yes when asked if you are sure you want to change it.

Right click on LOGS.bat and select Open with. Make sure Notepad is default option and click OK.
Select everything from line 10 (this line: ####LOGS.PS1 v.1.6.3#####) to the end of the file.
Press Ctrl+C or right click then Copy to copy the selected data to the clipboard.
Close Notepad (click on the X).

Right click on LOGS.PS1 you created and select Open with. Make sure Notepad is default option and click OK.
Press Ctrl+V or right click and select Paste to paste the contents of the clipboard into the Notepad window.
Click on File then Save.
You now have the Powershell script by itself without the batch file wrapper.

The following is a video showing you how to run LOGS.PS1 in the Powershell ISE. No idea how long the video will be available though as it belongs to the author John_E_M.
