New-NanoServerImage cmdlet does not use -logpath location

i trying create 100s of nanoserver images using new-nanoserverimage cmdlet. parallelize operation running new-nanoserver image cmdlet job within start-job block.

new-nanoserverimage -edition datacenter -deploymenttype guest -mediapath d:\ -basepath $basepathnew -targetpath $targetpath -computername $vmname -administratorpassword $pass -logpath $logpath -storage -verbose

the $logpath variable changes each iteration of while loop. but, find on execution of jobs start writing logs @ default location , throwing error there n number of jobs running same command simultaneously.

process cannot access file 'c:\users\administrator.domain\appdata\local\temp\nanoserverimagegenerator.log'
because being used process.

hi,

>>throwing error there n number of jobs running same command simultaneously.

we couldn't this: error has pointed out issue.

>>create 100s of nanoserver images using new-nanoserverimage cmdlet. parallelize operation

did mean use workflow?

you try use foreach loop structure or if structure job.

besides, suppose job not complex: have 2 ways this:

1> open powershell console, type show-command, in new opened console, type new-nanoserverimage , fill in parameters;

2>using tools->nano server image builder:
