I want to gather information about the users not appearing in the GAL via the get-eventlog command. The users' name appears in the General section of events. Get-EventLog Application | Where {$_.Category -eq "OAL Generator"} > c:\oabevents.txt produces a text file with: Index Time EntryType Source InstanceID Message ----- ---- --------- ------ ---------- ------- 5234718 Jan 10 09:43 Information MSExchangeSA 1073750931 Offline... EventLog Application | Where {$_.Category -eq "OAL Generator"}|select-object general does not list any information. How can I pipe the information in the general section to a text file? Thanks, Robert

Robert, I am not 100% but try to pipe in the command 'out-file' then follow that by the path. You can also pipe FL which will display the event with a full list in detail. Hope it helps, Jorge Jorge R. Diaz PMP, CCNA, MCSE, MCSA Sr. Microsoft Consultant Planet Technologies, Inc.

Ah, FL provided the answer - I needed the Message field. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Jorge!
