Microsoft’s Data Collection Tool SDP "Get-psSDP.ps1" (Support Diagnostic Package) is now available to public on GitHub.
Since 2019 Microsoft CSS (Customer Support Services) is publishing and updating its Data Collection Tool (SDP) on GitHub. This Microsoft internal tool was first released at February 2019 to public. It’s the core Data Collection Tool at Microsoft CSS. This tool was previously send only to Microsoft’s Premier customers with an expire date or usage limitation.
Microsoft CSS was able to set the expire data before sending the Data Collection Tool to its customers to collect the required information for troubleshooting purposes.
Update 16.04.2021 :
Unfortunately, Microsoft has removed its "Get-psSDP.ps1" Tool from Github and made it Internal Only again. I realized it today. I downloaded "TSS Tools (tss_tools.zip)" a few month ago which includes “Get-psSDP.ps1” Tool too and sharing it from my Personal Ondrive Share for whom, who are interested in to use it.

The released version of the SDP tool belongs to the Windows Core and SQL Team. Unfortunately Microsoft didn’t released the Support Diagnostic Package for System Center Products which is sad.
What is psSDP ?
psSDP is basically a collection of Powershell scripts to collect the needed information from the problematic environment. It’s my favorite tool which I use every day to collect the required information from customers environment because I don’t like to analyze events or logs on live production systems.
The usage of the tool is pretty easy.
More information about the usage can be found on GitHub.
Public download: https://github.com/CSS-Windows/WindowsDiag/blob/master/ALL/psSDP/
Usage :
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -force -Scope Process
and verify with 'Get-ExecutionPolicy -List' that no ExecutionPolicy with higher precedence is blocking execution of this script.
To start data collection, run in an elevated PowerShell window
.\get-psSDP.ps1 [Net|Dom|CTS|Print|HyperV|Setup|Cluster|Perf|SQLbase|Mini|Nano]
Example for SDP Networking Diagnostic:
.\get-psSDP.ps1 Net
Example for SDP Basic (mini) data collection:
.\get-psSDP.ps1 Mini
In the example below I run the SDP tool with the HyperV switch :
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -force -Scope Process
.\get-psSDP.ps1 HyperV
The SDP tool creates a *.zip file inside its execution folder and the collected files with the HyperV switch are as follows. The file names are pretty selfdescribing and explains what kind of information it includes.
