PowerShell Provider 2.4
Dell Command | PowerShell Provider provides an Error Reporting feature. Dell Command | PowerShell Provider uses the
PowerShell ErrorVariable parameter to capture the ErrorRecord. This ErrorVariable can be used to get more information such as exception, error id, error category, and recommended action, and so on, about an error.
NOTE: If the system does not have a WMI-ACPI compliant BIOS. Update the BIOS with a compatible version, if available.
Example: To set the error variable.
gi .\POSTBehavior\numl -ErrorVariable ev
Example: To see more information about the error.
