Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Show-EventLog

NAME

Show-EventLog

SYNOPSIS

Displays the event logs of the local or a remote computer in Event Viewer.

SYNTAX

Show-EventLog [[-ComputerName] ] []

DESCRIPTION

The Show-EventLog cmdlet opens Event Viewer on the local computer and displays in it all of the classic event logs

on the local computer or a remote computer. To open Event Viewer on Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, the current user must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer. 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.

on the local computer. The default is the local computer. Type the NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer.

your computer is not configured to run remote commands. Required? false Position? 0 Default value None Accept pipeline input?
