Using PoSH, how can I get a list of event log names? I am trying to get stuff
from the group policy log but not having any luck. The gui shows the logname as
"Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational" but get-eventlog doesn't like it.
PS C:\Users\TEMP> get-eventlog -logname
"Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational" -computername xxx
Get-EventLog : The event log 'Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational' on
computer 'xxx' does not exist.
At line:1 char:13
+ get-eventlog <<<< -logname "Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational"
-computername xxx
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-EventLog],
InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
System.InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetEventLogCommand
PS C:\Users\TEMP> get-eventlog -logname "Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy"
-computername xxx
Get-EventLog : The event log 'Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy' on computer 'xxx'
does not exist.
At line:1 char:13
+ get-eventlog <<<< -logname "Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy" -computername xxx
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-EventLog],
