Use PSWinReporting when you need PowerShell-driven reporting around Windows event logs, especially Active Directory security events and forwarded-event workflows.

The module is useful for older event-reporting pipelines, scheduled reports, and environments where event forwarding needs to be prepared before report generation. For new projects, review whether newer Evotec reporting modules cover the same scenario with a cleaner workflow.

Common tasks

• Enable remote event log access where event collection requires it.
• Register a scheduled-task forwarder for forwarded events.
• Build report workflows around AD security events.
• Keep credentials, SMTP settings, and SQL settings outside public scripts.
