Get-Ual

Gets the startup status for UAL.

Syntax

Default (Default)

Get-Ual
    [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
    [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
    [-AsJob]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-Ual cmdlet gets the startup status for User Access Logging (UAL).

-- Enabled. UAL starts when Windows Server starts.

  • Disabled. UAL does not start when Windows Server starts.

You can use the Disable-Ual and Enable-Ual cmdlets to change the startup status. The Get-Ual cmdlet does not check whether the UAL service itself is running.

For more information about UAL, see the User Access Logging Overview topic in the TechNet library at http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh849634.aspx.

Examples

Example 1: Get UAL startup configuration

PS C:\>Get-Ual
                                                    Enabled PSComputerName
                                                    ------- --------------
                                                    False

This command gets the startup status for the current server. The next time you restart this server, it does not start UAL.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
