function Write-Log { <# .SYNOPSIS Write a log message to the windows event log and powershell verbose stream .DESCRIPTION This function takes a log message and writes it to the windows event log as well as the powershell verbose stream. If the specified logName or source are missing from the windows event log, they are created. .PARAMETER message The message parameter is the log message to be recorded to the event log .PARAMETER severity The logging severity is the severity rating for the message being recorded. There are five ratings: - trace: verbose messages about state observations for tracing purposes - debug: verbose messages about state observations for debugging purposes - info: normal messages about state changes - warn: messages about unexpected occurences or observations that are not fatal to the running of the application - error: messages about failure of a critical logic path in the application .PARAMETER source The optional source parameter maps directly to the required event log source. This should be set to the name of the application being logged. .PARAMETER logName The optional logName parameter maps directly to the required event log logName. Most logs should go to the 'Application' pool .EXAMPLE These examples show how to call the Write-Log function with named parameters.
