The network path was not found.

how to solve this problem “Get-EventLog : The network path was not found.”

Well, you would normally start by providing us the complete command that you ran. It’s a little difficult to help you troubleshoot something when we can’t see what you’re doing.

But, generally, it means the computer name you asked Get-EventLog to connect to was either not found on the network, or did not accept the connection.

Can you retrieve event log of windows 8 from windows server 2012 using Windows PowerShell?

how to enable https listener on windows 8?

I am looking at a similar issue. I can remote to the computer but I cannot run this command. I’d like to run this on multiple computers to get a list of specific errors from the last day.
