Where-Object - Matching any integer in an array

PowerShell Help
21

You can have an integer array of id’s in get-winevent with the filterhashtable. There’s some annoying problems with it over invoke-command in all powershell versions. This worked for me at an elevated prompt.

$eventids = 5,7
invoke-command localhost { [int[]]$eventids = $using:eventids; 
  get-winevent @{logname='system';id=$eventids } }

[quote quote=271120]Are you sure the PS version on the other servers is the same?

A quick check running powershell -version 2.0 confirms that the error is the same. I can’t get it to return anything different.

Hi Matt,

 

You’re absolutely right - I had wrong info. These 2 servers only are 2008R2, the others are 2012.

That explains it then as I have tested with -match and it works OK.

 

Sorry to you and Mike for the confusion and thanks for your input and assistance!
