Examples

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

A server object is created for the server alpha using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectAlpha. Then the Double-Take Management Service log messages after 5:19pm on November 24, 2015 are displayed in groups of 25. The connections for the server object are then closed.

$DtServerObjectAlpha= New-DtServer -Name alpha -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

Get-DtLogMessage -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha -source MS -LastTimeStamp "11/24/2015 05:19:00 PM" -ChunkSize 25

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha
