Microsoft ISE v PS Studio Output - any thoughts?

Post by rasdella »

To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build: Powershell Studio 2017, Version 5.4.145
32 or 64 bit version of product:64
Operating system:Windows 7 Enterprise
32 or 64 bit OS:64

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

I am running the below command via the Powershell ISE which IMHO is correctly sorting:

Get-WinEvent -LogName system -ComputerName computer1 | Where-Object {$_.ID -eq '45058'} | sort -Property $_.TimeCreated -Descending

Output: (Shortened)
TimeCreated Id LevelDisplayName Message
----------- -- ---------------- -------
23/10/2017 1:21:54 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry
23/10/2017 1:19:34 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry
23/10/2017 10:56:26 AM 45058 Information A logon cache entry
19/10/2017 2:55:38 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry
23/03/2017 11:42:32 AM 45058 Information A logon cache entry

If I run the exact same command in either the PS Studio shell or the script console the output I receive is:

TimeCreated Id LevelDisplayName Message
----------- -- ---------------- -------
19/10/2017 2:55:38 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry for user
23/03/2017 11:42:32 AM 45058 Information A logon cache entry for user
23/10/2017 10:56:26 AM 45058 Information A logon cache entry for user
23/10/2017 1:21:54 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry for user
23/10/2017 1:19:34 PM 45058 Information A logon cache entry for user

The issue seems to be in the Sort-Property call. Instead of $_.TimeCreated it should be just TimeCreated.

Code: Select all

Get-WinEvent -LogName system -ComputerName computer1 | Where-Object {$_.ID -eq '45058'} | sort -Property TimeCreated -Descending
