NAME
    New-EventLog
    
SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new event log and a new event source on a local or remote computer.
    
    
SYNTAX
    New-EventLog [-LogName]  [-Source]  [[-ComputerName] ] [-CategoryResourceFile 
    ] [-MessageResourceFile ] [-ParameterResourceFile ] []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The New-EventLog cmdlet creates a new classic event log on a local or remote computer. It can also register an 
    event source that writes to the new log or to an existing log.
    
    The cmdlets that contain the EventLog noun (the EventLog cmdlets) work only on classic event logs. To get events 
    from logs that use the Windows Event Log technology in Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating 
    system, use the Get-WinEvent cmdlet.
    

PARAMETERS
    -CategoryResourceFile 
        Specifies the path of the file that contains category strings for the source events. This file is also known 
        as the Category Message File.
        
        The file must be present on the computer on which the event log is being created. This parameter does not 
        create or move files.
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       False
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    -ComputerName 
        Specifies the computers on which this cmdlet creates new event logs. The default is the local computer.
        
        Type the NetBIOS name, an IP address or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer. To specify the 
        local computer, type the computer name, a dot (.), or localhost.
        
        This parameter does not rely on Windows PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter of 
        New-EventLog even if your computer is not configured to run remote commands.
        
        Required?                    false

    -LogName 
        Specifies the name of the event log.
        
        If the log does not exist, New-EventLog creates the log and uses this value for the Log and LogDisplayName 
        properties of the new event log. If the log exists, New-EventLog registers a new source for the event log.
        
        Required?                    true
        Position?                    0

    -MessageResourceFile 
        Specifies the path of the file that contains message formatting strings for the source events. This file is 
        also known as the Event Message File.

        create or move files.

NOTES
    
    
        To use New-EventLog * on Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, open Windows 
        PowerShell by using Run as administrator option.
        
        To create an event source in Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003, you must be a 
        member of the Administrators group on the computer.
        
        When you create a new event log and a new event source, the system registers the new source for the new log, 
        but the log is not created until the first entry is written to it.
        
        The operating system stores event logs as files. When you create a new event log, the associated file is 
        stored in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory on the specified computer. The file name is the first 
        eight characters of the Log property that has an .evt file name extension.
        
        *
    
    Example 1: Create an event log and register its source
    
    PS C:\>New-EventLog -Source "TestApp" -LogName "TestLog" -MessageResourceFile "C:\Test\TestApp.dll"
    
    This command creates the TestLog event log on the local computer and registers a new source for it.
    Example 2: Add an event source to the Application log
    
    PS C:\>$file = "C:\Program Files\TestApps\NewTestApp.dll"
    PS C:\> New-EventLog -ComputerName "Server01" -Source "NewTestApp" -LogName "Application" -MessageResourceFile 
    $file -CategoryResourceFile $file
    
    This command adds a new event source, NewTestApp, to the Application log on the Server01 remote computer.
    
    The command requires that the NewTestApp.dll file is located on the Server01 computer.
