Get the current (active) transaction.
Syntax
Get-Transaction [CommonParameters]
Key
CommonParameters:
-Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -WarningAction, -WarningVariable,
-OutBuffer -OutVariable.
Get-Transaction gets an object that represents the current transaction in the session.
This cmdlet never returns more than one object, because only one transaction is active at a time. If one
or more independent transactions are started (using Start-Transaction -Independent), the most recently started transaction is active, and that will be returned by Get-Transaction.
When all active transactions have either been rolled back or committed, Get-Transaction shows the transaction that
was most recently active in the session.
Example
Show the properties and methods of the transaction object:
PS C:\> get-transaction | get-member
Show the property values of a transaction object for a transaction that has been committed:
PS C:\> cd hklm:\software
HKLM:\SOFTWARE> Start-Transaction
HKLM:\SOFTWARE> New-Item SS64 -UseTransaction
HKLM:\SOFTWARE> Complete-Transaction
HKLM:\SOFTWARE> Get-Transaction
