Question

I'm doing the following powershell line, and for some reason it's finding a syntax error with it, but I'm not sure why, and I can't find it in an internet search:

 $eventInitTerminate = Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName='Application';ProviderName='chromoting';StartTime=$initTime;EndTime=$crashOccurredTime;} -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object -PipelineVariable Message -Match 'Channel'
             

I can see Channel in my chromoting ProviderName for Application event-log, but for some reason it's not working here and I get the error message:

Where-Object : The specified operator requires both the -Property and -Value parameters. Provide values for both parameters, and then try the
command again.
