Write-EventLog
Writes an event to an event log. PowerShell reference
From the PowerShell reference 8 parameters
What it does
Writes an event to an event log. The Write-EventLog cmdlet writes an event to an event log. To write an event to an event log, the event log must exist on the computer and the source must be registered for the event log. The cmdlets that contain the EventLog noun (the EventLog cmdlets) work only on classic event logs. To get events from logs that use the Windows Event Log technology in Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, use the Get-WinEvent cmdlet.
