Get windows events for a day

Question

I'm trying to create a PowerShell Cmdlet that runs daily and shows me the errors that occured on the previous day.

I can make it show the last 100. Instead I'd like to see just the one that occured the day before.

get-eventlog 
 -logname application 
 -newest 100 | 
 select eventid,machinename,entrytype,message,source,timegenerated,username | 
 export-clixml C:\Logs.xml

Solution

This PowerShell command will return the event logs for the previous 24 hours:

Get-EventLog Application -After (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)

The instructions for get-eventlog are available at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849834.aspx and fully answer your question.
