The Save-CauDebugTrace cmdlet saves Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) debug tracing information to a
local zip file. The tracing information is mainly intended for use by developers and support
engineers. Specify the file name with the FilePath parameter.
To run this cmdlet, Windows PowerShell remoting must be enabled on each node. To do this, run the
Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet. In addition, ensure that the Windows Remote Management -
Compatibility Mode (HTTP-In) firewall exception is enabled on each node.
Examples
Example 1: Save debug tracing information for the specified cluster
This command saves the debug tracing information for the cluster named CONTOSO-FC1, to a trace
file called testrun.zip in the C:\temp folder.
Parameters

Specifies the name of the cluster for which to gather CAU debug tracing information. This parameter
is only required when this cmdlet isn't run on a failover cluster node, or this cmdlet is used to
