Description
The Set-SilLogging cmdlet applies configuration settings for Software Inventory Logging. If logging is started, Software Inventory Logging collects data daily from all Software Inventory Logging data sources, and then forwards this data over the network to an aggregation server. Specify an aggregation server by using this cmdlet. If you do not specify an aggregation server and the server is a virtual machine that runs on a Hyper-V host, then the daily collection forwards the Software Inventory Logging data to a location that its Windows Server host can access. This cmdlet sets the time of day that the daily collection occurs, the uniform resource identifier (URI) of the aggregation server, and the certificate thumbprint to use for encryption.
Use the Start-SilLogging cmdlet to start logging.
Examples
Example 1: Specify an aggregation server
PS C:\> Set-SilLogging -TargetUri "https://log03.hosts.contoso.com"
This command specifies an aggregation server for Software Inventory Logging for the current computer.
Example 2: Specify a time of day
PS C:\> Set-SilLogging -TimeOfDay "01/01/2013 5:00:00AM"
This command specifies the time of day that the computer forwards logging data. Note that when you specify a date in the future, Software Inventory Logging does not start logging until that date and time. If you specify a date in the past, only the time specified is relevant to the configuration setting.
Parameters
-CertificateThumbprint
Specifies a certificate thumbprint as a string. Software Inventory Logging encrypts logging data sent to the aggregation server by using this thumbprint. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, Software Inventory Logging does not encrypt data.
Parameter properties

-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.

| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-TargetUri
Specifies the URI of an aggregation server. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, Software Inventory Logging does not send logging data over the network.
If you do not specify an aggregation server for a virtual machine that runs on a computer that runs Hyper-V, Software Inventory Logging forwards logging data to a location that its Windows Server host can access.

| Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-TimeOfDay
Specifies the time of day as a DateTime object when Software Inventory Logging forwards data.
To obtain a DateTime object, use the Get-Date cmdlet.
For more information, type Get-Help Get-Date.
The default value is 3 a.m.
