Create event log entry with powershell and fill in user

Viewed 3106

I need to create entry to Windows Event Log (e.g. application log). I know how to do all the stuff beside filling in the user who performed the action.

Example: I need to create a script, that writes some message into application log. I used this tutorial, which worked fine: http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/06/20/how-to-use-powershell-to-write-to-event-logs.aspx

But I am not able to influence the "user". When adding entry in windows log, it always fills "User: N/A".

Any idea how to pass "user" argument to the "write-eventlog" cmdlet?

Thank you for your help.
