Parameters

-InputObject<CimInstance>

Enable the BidTrace represented by the specified BidTrace setting objects. Enter a variable that contains the objects, or type a command or expression that gets the objects.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByValue)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Path<String>

Enable BidTrace for this application full path.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ProcessId<UInt32>

Enable BidTrace only for this process ID.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Folder<String>

Enable BidTrace for all applications under this folder.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-IncludeAllApplications

Enable BidTrace for all applications.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Platform<String>

The platform architecture of the WDAC BidTrace setting. Possible values are '32-bit', '64-bit' or 'All'. The default is '32-bit' on a 32-bit process and '64-bit' on a 64-bit process. This is the platform architecture on the remote machine if this command is executed on a remote CIM session.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-PassThru

Passes the object created by this cmdlet through the pipeline. By default, this cmdlet does not pass any objects through the pipeline.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
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. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-CimSession<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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	false
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	false
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples

This command enables the BidTrace for the application "C:\temp\abc.exe" on the 32-bit platform:

PS C:\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\temp\abc.exe" -Platform 32-bit

This command enables the bid trace for the application "C:\temp\abc.exe" on the 32-bit platform but it only enables bid tracing for a particular instance of "abc.exe" (with Process ID = 1234):

PS C:\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\temp\abc.exe" -ProcessId 1234 -Platform 32-bit

This command enables a bid trace for all applications located inside C:\temp on the native platform:

PS C:\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -Folder "C:\temp"

This command enables the bid trace for all 64-bit applications:

PS C:\> Enable-WdacBidTrace -IncludeAllApplications -Platform 64-bit

This command first enables the WDAC bid trace for the 64-bit application "C:\temp\abc.exe". It also saves the result into a PowerShell variable that can be reused in Disable-OdbcPerfCounter:

PS C:\> $bidSetting = Enable-WdacBidTrace -Path "C:\temp\abc.exe" -Platform 64-bit -PassThru
<use C:\temp\abc.exe>
Disable-WdacBidTrace $bidSetting
