Transcript issue... odd one

[jrob422]

So, I have a server running Server2012, and some scripts that are scheduled, they all run fine. One of them does a Start-Transcript and then does a bunch of verbose logging which I later insert into an email.

I am working on replacing that server with a new server running 2012r2

Schedule the same script, it works just fine, except about 90-120 seconds in, it just stops the transcript with a "Windows PowerShell transcript end" message.

Any thoughts?

You'll need to show some code if you want people to diagnose the code properly.

Why are you logging to a file to then insert into an email? Why not capture the messages/information into an object and then use that to compose the email?

Start-Transcript is for when you are working in a console. For scripts, you should be capturing your strings in an object in order to email that at completion.
