47 Write-Log writes a message to a specified log file with the current time stamp.
49 The Write-Log function is designed to add logging capability to other scripts.
50 In addition to writing output and/or verbose you can write to a log file for

57 * Code simplification and clarification - thanks to @juneb_get_help
58 * Added documentation.
59 * Renamed LogPath parameter to Path to keep it standard - thanks to @JeffHicks
60 * Revised the Force switch to work as it should - thanks to @JeffHicks
63 * Add error handling if trying to create a log file in a inaccessible location.
64 * Add ability to write $Message to $Verbose or $Error pipelines to eliminate
67 Message is the content that you wish to add to the log file.
69 The path to the log file to which you would like to write. By default the function will
70 create the path and file if it does not exist.
72 Specify the criticality of the log information being written to the log (i.e. Error, Warning, Informational)
74 Use NoClobber if you do not wish to overwrite an existing file.
76 Write-Log -Message 'Log message'
77 Writes the message to c:\Logs\PowerShellLog.log.
79 Write-Log -Message 'Restarting Server.' -Path c:\Logs\Scriptoutput.log
80 Writes the content to the specified log file and creates the path and file specified.
82 Write-Log -Message 'Folder does not exist.' -Path c:\Logs\Script.log -Level Error
83 Writes the message to the specified log file as an error message, and writes the message to the error pipeline.
