Summary: Learn how to use Windows PowerShell to display the Event Viewer tool.

           How can I use Windows PowerShell to see the Event Viewer?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the Show-EventLog cmdlet—Tab expansion works so you do not have to type much,
           and it is easier to remember and type than EventVwr:
