When I try to run the above script using $evtMgr=Get-ViewEVentManager
I am getting the following error:
Get-View View with Id
'EventManager-EventManager' was not found on the server(s).
At C:\Myscripts\vmfailedtopoweron.ps1:3 char:11

But when I try with
$si = Get-View ServiceInstance
$evtMgr = Get-View $si.Content.EventManager
I don't get any error but I don't see the event generated in the specified VM. Why is it so?
And how do i figure out how to compose the specific event that I want to create?
