Powershell Script

I am trying to extract Logs from event viewer security log. I am trying to find the easiest way. I believe using Powershell to get this data is the easiest way. I am trying to get a nice excel document on employee logons to a server. The event codes i need are 4985 and 5140. They typically login using Citrix Xenapp. What I need is the Subject details to show. The security ID or Account name would be an easy way to identify a user.

I can get the event logs using Get-Eventlog using this command. What i need is the account name or security ID of specific user, otherwise that other data would be useless for me.

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated,

Try using Get-WinEvent which will allow you to get the full details in events.

Hi Michael,

I had created a script sometime back to get account lockout notifications. below is a a snippet form that which might help get what you are after

$Events = Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $DC -FilterHashtable @{LOGNAME='Security';ID="4985"} -ErrorAction Stop
foreach ($event in $Events){
$Properties= [PSCustomObject][Ordered]@{
"Username"=$event.Properties[0].value
"ReferenceComputer"=$Event.Properties[1].value
"LockOutTime"=$event.TimeCreated
"Domain"=$Event.Properties[5].value
"DC"=$Event.Properties[4].value -replace"\$"
}
$Properties
}
