Moving an event log source is not having an effect
I'm having an issue that to be clear I'll describe in steps:
- I created an event source called
Fooin the event log calledApplicationusing the following powershell command:
New-EventLog -source Foo -LogName "Application"
- I could successfully log to the event log using that source.
- Afterwards, I decided to remove the source and re-create it in a different event log:
Remove-Eventlog -Source "Foo"
New-EventLog -source "Foo" -LogName "My App Log"
The problem I'm having is that then when I run Write-EventLog -LogName "My App Log" -Source "Foo" -EventID 0 -EntryType Information -Message "Some message." the entry is logged to Application instead of to My App Log
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Am I missing anything?
