.NOTES NAME: about_Start-PDQDiagLocalElevated .DESCRIPTION The Start-PDQDiagLocalElevated function opens a new elevated PowerShell console (triggering a UAC prompt) and runs the local PDQ diagnostic collection script under the SYSTEM context. It imports the TechToolbox module within that elevated session, calls the private Start-PDQDiagLocalSystem cmdlet, and captures a full transcript of the output to a log file in the specified drop path. .PARAMETER LocalDropPath Specifies the destination folder for the final ZIP archive containing the logs. The default value is 'C:\PDQDiagLogs'. .PARAMETER ExtraPaths Specifies additional files or folders to include in the diagnostic collection. This parameter accepts an array of strings representing paths to extra items. .PARAMETER ConnectDataPath Specifies the root directory for PDQ Connect agent data. The default value is '$env:ProgramData\PDQ\PDQConnectAgent'. .PARAMETER StayOpen A switch parameter that keeps the elevated console window open after the script completes. This adds the -NoExit flag and displays a prompt to allow time to read any output or errors. .PARAMETER ForcePwsh A switch parameter that forces the use of pwsh.exe (PowerShell Core) explicitly. If not specified, the function auto-detects whether to use pwsh.exe or powershell.exe. .INPUTS None. You cannot pipe objects to Start-PDQDiagLocalElevated. .OUTPUTS None. This function does not return any objects. .EXAMPLE Start-PDQDiagLocalElevated -StayOpen Description: Starts the elevated PDQ diagnostic collection and keeps the console window open after completion so you can review the transcript log for any errors or details. .EXAMPLE Start-PDQDiagLocalElevated -ExtraPaths 'C:\Temp\PDQ','D:\Logs\PDQ' Description: Starts the elevated PDQ diagnostic collection and includes additional files or folders located at C:\Temp\PDQ and D:\Logs\PDQ in the final archive. .LINK [TechToolbox](https://github.com/dan-damit/TechToolbox) |
