PowerShell Logs

Some time ago the Windows PowerShell event log replaced the PowerShell event log in server 2003. Initially this meant there both categories appeared in the event viewer and the PowerShell event log would fill up with errors. The solution is to remove the registry key –

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\PowerShell

Unfortunately the application of some windows updates results in the re-creation of the PowerShell key so you need to check this occasionally and remove when appropriate.
