This is because they are asking the user a question such as 'are you sure you want to remove this item ', if such questions are redirected to a file the session will appear to hang while it waits for a response to a question the user can't see. Multiple redirections can be done on one line, so to redirect error and warning messages to null:.
In PowerShell it is not possible to redirect the output of an entire session so Powershell. The text files produced by PowerShell are by default in Unicode UTF16 , if you need a different encoding, use Out-File instead of the redirection operator. Preference Variables - Determine which commands will produce output Output streams 1 - 6. Of course, users see verbose messages only if they run your script with the Verbose common parameter or when they change VerbosePreference to Continue.
But that's a much better alternative than writing to the output stream which can mess up your piping , and it is better than writing messages to the host program which can't be suppressed or redirected.
My first impression of streams was that they're very useful and sophisticated. That's my current impression, too!
Writes all output except Host messages to output stream, then saves them in a file. Writes all messages to console and then saves all but host messages in a file. I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at scripter microsoft.

I keep hearing about Windows PowerShell endpoints and Doctor Scripto March 31, NET Core. Stderr output doesn't belong in PowerShell's error stream, because it cannot be assumed to represent errors - that's why it prints straight to the host by default. Providing an easy way to collect stderr lines is the subject of This is annoying and unfortunate.
PowerShell's output stream is strongly typed so whatever gets written into it has to get wrapped in an ErrorRecord unlike the subprocess pipe which is just an undifferentiated stream of bytes so you get very different behavior. Wrapping the output into an error object is also important because that's how Out-Default demultiples the merged output stream. It's purpose, like any error log, is to allow forensic analysis of the execution.
I didn't understand this statement. WRT the linked issue, errors are either exceptions terminating errors or something written to the error stream non-terminating errors. Thus error action only applies to things being written to the error stream..
Consequently, if you redirect the error stream to the output stream, the error action preference no longer has any effect. BrucePay :. The root problem is that native programs only have 2 output streams at their disposal: stdout and stderr. This is an unfortunate limitation, which PowerShell - commendably - has overcome in its own realm. Given this limitation, native programs have no choice but to write anything that isn't data to stderr, lest they pollute the data output stream stdout.
It is a longstanding practice that is the best approach within the confines of the stated limitation. Because the presence of stderr output can therefore not be assumed to represent error conditions, PowerShell's console host's default behavior is the right approach:.
