get-eventlog issue
- by Jim B
I wanted to get a quick report of some log entries I saw on a server, so I ran:
Get-Eventlog -logname system -newest 10 -computer fs1 | fl
I got events back however the descriptions were all wrong. Here's an example:
Index : 1260055 EntryType : Warning InstanceId : 2186936367
Message : The description for Event ID
'-2108030929' in Source 'W32Time'
cannot be found. The local compute r
may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to
display the message, or you may not
have permission to access them. The
following information is part of the
event:'time. windows.com,0x1' Category
: (0) CategoryNumber : 0
ReplacementStrings :
{time.windows.com,0x1} Source :
W32Time TimeGenerated : 1/25/2010
10:43:31 AM TimeWritten : 1/25/2010
10:43:31 AM UserName :
Note that if I pull the event ID property it's correct (in this case 38)
Is this is known issue or is something wrong. The messages resolve fine via event viewer locally and remotely
