Based on eventviewer – View Shutdown Event Tracker logs under Windows Server 2008 R2 – Server Fault « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff, I’ve made similar filters for service stop/start events.
Works on translated systems:
PowerShell
Get-EventLog System | Where-Object {$_.EventID -eq "7036"} | ft Machinename, TimeWritten, UserName, EventID, Message -AutoSize -Wrap
Or on one line:
Get-EventLog System ^| Where-Object {$_.EventID -in "6005","6006","7000","7009","7036","7040","7042","7043","7045"} ^| ft Machinename, TimeWritten, UserName, EventID, Message -AutoSize -Wrap
Note the -In operator was introduced in PowerShell 3: [WayBack]
Source: PowerShell v3 – New -in Operator | Jonathan Medd’s Blog
I’ve adapted the custom view to include all these event IDs above (note some links have disappeared moving my notes to a blog post):
- [WayBack] 6005: The Event log service was started (indication for system startup).
- [WayBack] 6006: The Event log service was stopped (indication for system shutdown).
- [WayBack] 7000: The <servicename> service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
- [WayBack] 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the <servicename> service to connect.
- [WayBack] 7036:
- The <servicename> service entered the stopped state.
- The <servicename> service entered the running state.
- [WayBack] 7040: The start type of the <servicename> service was changed from demand start to auto start.
- [WayBack] 7042: The <servicename> service was successfully sent a stop control.
- [WayBack] 7043: The <servicename> service did not shut down properly after receiving a preshutdown control.
- [WayBack] 7045: A service was installed in the system.
Other event IDs that might be relevant via [WayBack] Windows Server restart / shutdown history – Server Fault:
- [WayBack] 6008: “The previous system shutdown was unexpected.” Records that the system started after it was not shut down properly.
- [WayBack] 6009: Indicates the Windows product name, version, build number, service pack number, and operating system type detected at boot time.
- [WayBack] 6013: Displays the uptime of the computer. There is no TechNet page for this id.
- [WayBack] 1074: “The process X has initiated the restart / shutdown of computer on behalf of user Y for the following reason: Z.” Indicates that an application or a user initiated a restart or shutdown.
- [WayBack] 1076: “The reason supplied by user X for the last unexpected shutdown of this computer is: Y.” Records when the first user with shutdown privileges logs on to the computer after an unexpected restart or shutdown and supplies a reason for the occurrence.
- [WayBack] 41 (source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power)
- [WayBack] 1001: (source: BugCheck).
- [WayBack] 12, which is typically the first eventid to be logged after a reboot/reset etc and shows the actual “system start time”, i.e.: “The operating system started at system time 2017-09-19T02:46:06.582794900Z.”
