You can do a custom inventory for almost anything. This will check the log for successful installs.

ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell get-eventlog Application | where-object {$_.EventID -eq "11707"}|select-object TimeGenerated,message|Format-List)

    • Not by defualt, but running something like this will show in the machine inventory under "Custom Inventory Fields". Just make sure you select your correct OS. - dugullett 10 years ago
  • Have you tried using the Scripting > Configuration Policy and Eventlog Reporter Wizard. It will pull the standard logs but you can adjust the vbs script to pull more and it will attach it as an uploaded file under inventory for the machine and in the uploaded file link.

    it will override every time you run it though unless you are able to change the vbs to change the name locally before uploading it. I wouldn't leave it to rename infinitely. I would have a set number and when it exceeds, delete the oldest file. - nshah 10 years ago
    • I am having a problem with Eventlog Reporter Wizard. For Application and System logs it works fine, however, for Security logs it fails. The text file it creates is empty. - verasme 6 years ago
  • Get-WinEvent -LogName Security -FilterXPath "*[System[(EventID=4624)]] and *[EventData[Data[@Name='TargetUserName'] and (Data ='')]]" |group eventid -noelement | sort count
