You can put any error messages generated by a cmdlet into a variable with the ErrorVariable common parameter. Then, you can save the error in a file by piping the variable into Out-File.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Service kkkkkk -ErrorVariable e
 
Get-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'kkkkkk'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Service kkkkkk -ErrorVariable e
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (kkkkkk:String) [Get-Service], ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoServiceFoundForGivenName,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetServiceCommand
 
 
PS C:\Windows\system32> $e
 
Get-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'kkkkkk'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Service kkkkkk -ErrorVariable e
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (kkkkkk:String) [Get-Service], ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoServiceFoundForGivenName,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetServiceCommand
 
 
PS C:\Windows\system32> $e | Out-File c:\error.txt

You can append other errors to the error varible like this: Get-Service bbbbbbbbb -ErrorVariable +e

You can also have a look at the help file: about_CommonParameters

I hope it helped!
