Finding Powershell Assemblies
I have been having problems with the Start-Transcript command working on some machines and not on others (particularly within Jenkins CI machines). The error message was not very helpful:
so I thought it would make sense to try to find the assembly and see what it's trying to do when it fails.
Using Get-Command was the obvious choice but doesn't seem to help.
Get-Command Start-Transcript
Then I discovered the Format-List cmdlet that takes the default output and expands it to show all the properties.
Get-Command Start-Transcript | Format-List \*
Voila! the location of the assembly so I can hunt down the error with IlSpy.
