   [-ChassisSerialNumber <String[]>]
   [-UUID <String[]>]
   [-Username <String[]>]
   [-ActivityCount <UInt32[]>]
   [-FirstSeen <DateTime[]>]
   [-LastSeen <DateTime[]>]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-UalServerUser cmdlet gets User Access Logging (UAL) records for client requests, by user, for services on a server. Use the CimSession parameter to run the cmdlet on a remote server.

This cmdlet organizes information by user. For each user that accesses a service on a server, the cmdlet returns a record that specifies the user, the chassis serial number for the server, and Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) for the server. The record also includes the first time the client accessed the service, the most recent time the client accessed the service, and the total number of times the client accessed the service.

You can specify parameter values to narrow the records that this cmdlet returns. For instance, you can get records for only a specified user.

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 access records for a specified user

PS C:\>Get-UalServerUser -Username "western\sarahjones"
ActivityCount       : 1

ChassisSerialNumber : 4550-1195-7960-9223-8899-0403-95

FirstSeen           : 8/17/2012 12:37:30 PM

LastSeen            : 8/17/2012 12:37:30 PM

UserName            : western\sarahjones

UUID                : A9258570-6931-405C-8DB5-1A351A82B278

PSComputerName      :

This command gets the UAL records for a server for a client with a specified user name. The results show this client accessed a service on this server only once on 8/17/2012.

Parameters

-ActivityCount

Specifies an array of the number of access requests by a client for a service.

Type:UInt32[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ChassisSerialNumber

Specifies an array of strings. Each member contains the UUID of a server.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FirstSeen

Specifies an array of dates, as DateTime objects. A time represents when the client accessed the service for the first time.

Type:DateTime[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True

Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
