Most Double-Take Event messages are located in the Application Log with a Source of Double-Take or Double-Take Management Service. You will also find some Event messages in the System log under RepDrv. See the User's Guide for details on all of the Double-Take Event messages.
The following sample scripts will gather Double-Take specific Event messages. The cmdlets used in these scripts are not Double-Take cmdlets. They are Windows PowerShell cmdlets. See your Windows PowerShell documentation for more details and examples on how to use these cmdlets.
You will need to modify this script to fit your environment and configuration.
Be sure and expand your screen wide enough so that lines in the script file do not wrap.

If you want to hide your user credentials in your script, use the Windows PowerShell Get-Credential cmdlet. The password will not be visible because Windows stores an encrypted password. See Hiding your password in a PowerShell script for basic details on using this cmdlet. See your Windows PowerShell documentation for detailed instructions.
