You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Write script status to the Windows Event Log

PureBasic

<lang PureBasic>Procedure WriteToLog(Event_App$,EventMessage$,EvenetType,Computer$)

 Protected wNumStrings.w, lpString=@EventMessage$, lReturnX, CMessageTyp, lparray
 Protected lprawdata=@EventMessage$, rawdata=Len(EventMessage$), Result
 Protected lLogAPIRetVal.l = RegisterEventSource_(Computer$, Event_App$)
 If lLogAPIRetVal
   lReturnX = ReportEvent_(lLogAPIRetVal,EvenetType,0,CMessageTyp,0,wNumStrings,rawdata,lparray,lprawdata
   DeregisterEventSource_(lLogAPIRetVal)
   Result=#True
 EndIf
 ProcedureReturn Result

EndProcedure</lang>

PowerShell

<lang powershell># Create Event Log object $EventLog=new-object System.Diagnostics.EventLog("Application")

  1. Declare Event Source; must be 'registered' with Windows

$EventLog.Source="Application" # It is possible to register a new source (see Note2)

  1. Setup the Event Types; you don't have to use them all, but I'm including all the possibilities for reference

$infoEvent=[System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::Information $errorEvent=[System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::Error $warningEvent=[System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::Warning $successAuditEvent=[System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::SuccessAudit $failureAuditEvent=[System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::FailureAudit

  1. Write the event in the format "Event test",EventType,EventID

$EventLog.WriteEntry("My Test Event",$infoevent,70)</lang> Note1: Thanks to PoSH Fan for posting information that got me started on this at Windows PowerShell Blog
Note2: See details on registering a new Event Source with Windows at MSDN

Tcl

Library: TWAPI

<lang tcl>package require twapi

  1. This command handles everything; use “-type error” to write an error message

twapi::eventlog_log "My Test Event" -type info</lang>
