Without having one of those events to poke at, the best I can say is to get an instance of one and do a select * to see what all property values you have to work with. Maybe there is one that isn't dumped in the default view that you can use to get what you need.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Webster Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2016 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [powershell] Question on using Get-EventLog for WMI errors Server 2008 R2 still on V2. Needing to query 389 servers for WMI error 10. I can see the error in the Application event log: [cid:[email protected]] When I use Get-EventLog, this is what I get for that specific event: 1371838 Mar 01 05:57 0 WinMgmt 3221231089 The description for Event ID '-1073736207' in Source 'WinMgmt' cannot be found. The local computer 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: I am logged in as the local admin on the server so it should not be a permissions issue. Is this just a known issue with Get-EventLog or is there something else I should doing or using? Every WinMgmt event retrieved using Get-EventLog returns the same basic message "the description for the event cannot be found". Kind of useless info for finding the real error. Also, why in the Application event log is the Event ID 10 but the cmdlet returns 3221231089?
