PowerShell Write-EventLog 未写入所需的事件日志

Question

I have the below code (snippet) in a PowerShell function (named Create-EventLog). The end result should be the following:

• A new Event Log named Get-Drives were PowerShell writes all exception messages for this application. The Get-Drives event log gets created but for some reason the actual message(s) are only getting written in the default Windows PowerShell event log. How can I make PowerShell write the messages to the "Get-Drives" event log instead of the "Windows PowerShell" event log? I'm using PowerShell 4 and using PowerShell tools in Visual Studio 2013.

My PowerShell function snippet:

if (!$EventLogExists) {
    New-EventLog -LogName "Get-Drives" -source "Get-Drives"
    Write-EventLog -LogName "Get-Drives" -source "Get-Drives" -EventId 1 -message "There was an error"
    return
} else {
    Write-EventLog -LogName "Get-Drives" -source "Get-Drives" -EventId 1 -message "There was an error"
    return
}

Running Get-EventLog -List reveals the below output:

Under entries there is a value 1 for the Get-Drives log but it only displays in the Windows Powershell log which also has a value of 1.

Let's see if your EventLog is created, this command will list all your events log's on local computer:

Get-EventLog -list

If your EventLog is not in the list, try to create it by using just this command and not your function(run as administrator your PS console):

New-EventLog -LogName "Get-Drives" -source "Get-Drives"

Then run again to see if your EventLog has been created.

Get-EventLog -list

If your new EventLog present in the list then run your function to see if now he will be able to write in the right EventLog
