Exchange Management Shell provides cmdlets for viewing event logs and setting diagnostic logging
levels for Exchange components.
Viewing Event Logs
Windows PowerShell uses the Get-EventLog cmdlet to provide access to event logs on the local server.
Several parameters are included to control how Get-EventLog works.

To display a list of all event logs that are available on the server along with their current properties, use
the List parameter as shown in this example:
[PS] C:\ > Get-EventLog -list
Max(K) Retain OverflowAction Entries Name
------ ------ -------------- ------- ----
16,384 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 2,512 Application
512 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 139 Directory Service
512 7 OverwriteOlder 60 DNS Server
512 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 14 File Replication Service
512 7 OverwriteOlder 0 Internet Explorer
131,072 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 65,785 Security
16,384 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 1,066 System
15,360 0 OverwriteAsNeeded 496 Windows PowerShell
This list is typical for a server acting as an ??? all - in - one ??? box running Windows 2003 Active Directory,
DNS, and Exchange Server 2007.
To display the events from a particular event log, use the LogName parameter and the name of the
specific event log as shown in the list from the previous example.
