| Guest | PowerShell Event Logging Hello, Until recently I was using PowerShell RC1, however, I have just upgraded to PowerShell RC2. The upgrade process appeared to complete without issue. Since the upgrade, I have observed two minor issues concerning event logging: 1. There are now two PowerShell event categories displayed in Event Viewer, "PowerShell" and "Windows PowerShell". The former appears to replace the latter, as when I launch PowerShell all events appear in "PowerShell" while the other remains empty. Can anyone provide information on how to remove what appears to be a defunct logging category, I haven't had much luck digging any up. 2. All events logged by PowerShell take the form of: Event Type: Information Event Source: PowerShell Event Category: (4) Event ID: 400 Date: 10/10/2006 Time: 3:40:51 PM User: N/A Computer: METAPHYSICAL Description: The description for Event ID ( 400 ) in Source ( PowerShell ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Available, None, NewEngineState=Available PreviousEngineState=None SequenceNumber=8 HostName=ConsoleHost HostVersion=1.0.0.0 HostId=f6b761ff-5e03-41f5-9d0e-be4356bd6413 EngineVersion=1.0.0.0 RunspaceId=45e74591-bfa2-45b7-a7fb-5be49344f3e8 PipelineId= CommandName= CommandType= ScriptName= CommandPath= CommandLine=. While the relevant information appears below the error message, it would be nice to remove the preceding message if it's not too much trouble. I am viewing the events on the host computer, and have tried regardless launching Event Viewer with the /auxsource:ip/netbios/dns paremeters with no success. Thanks in advance, -SDL |

It was easy from Visual Studio Server Explorer. But I can't find a standard Windows way for a PC without Visual Studio installed - any help, please? -- Thanks, Roman |
