Powershell Event Error Details
I have over 100 Windows servers from Windows 2003 to Windows 2012
We need to review the Event logs and a daily basis. We must use event viewer review the application and system logs.
This takes a while to expand the event log using MMC or Server Manager views.
I be playing around with Powershell scripts to handle this which is faster
So I use this command which lists the application Warnings Only from the last twenty four hours.
I use Level=2 for Errors also do this for both the application and system event logs.
This outputs see below and that is ok
get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{LogName='Application'; Level=3; StartTime=(get-date).addho
TimeCreated ProviderName Id Message

This looks good
My question is how do I display the details of Event Id 64 using power shell
I only want to view the last occurrence I have only been able to get a long list of all instances.
Our management here is not keen on elaborate scripts they like us to use command line so we remember the commands
Every day the events will be different so maybe a short script where I can just add the event id as input would be nice.
Thoughts
Thanks

What do you mean by "details"?
If you just want the message, use Select-Object.
If you only want event ID 64, include ID in your filterhashtable.
If you want to limit the number of events retrieved, use the -MaxEvents parameter of Get-WinEvent.

So you want to display all events using the table format, e.g.
If so, for that last display, you'd either have to re-do the query, or have saved the previous results so that you can then just display one. There's no exact equivalent to the view you get in Event Viewer, basically you'd just want to show all properties (think Format-List *).
The -maxevents parameter is not part of the hashtable.
