Function Get-WinEventData {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Get custom event data from an event log record

    .DESCRIPTION
        Get custom event data from an event log record

        Takes in Event Log entries from Get-WinEvent, converts each to XML, extracts all properties from Event.EventData.Data

        Notes:
            To avoid overwriting existing properties or skipping event data properties,
            we append a prefix (default: e_) to these extracted properties.

            Some events store custom data in other XML nodes.
            For example, AppLocker uses Event.UserData.RuleAndFileData

    .PARAMETER Event
        One or more event.

        Accepts data from Get-WinEvent or any System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogRecord object

    .PARAMETER Prefix
        Append this to EventData keys to ensure uniqueness.  Defaults to e_

    .INPUTS
        System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogRecord

    .OUTPUTS
        System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogRecord

    .EXAMPLE
        Get-WinEvent -LogName system -max 1 | Get-WinEventData | Select -Property MachineName, TimeCreated, e_*

        #  Simple example showing the computer an event was generated on, the time, and any custom event data

    .EXAMPLE
        Get-WinEvent -ComputerName DomainController1 -FilterHashtable @{Logname='security';id=4740} -MaxEvents 10 | Get-WinEventData | Select TimeCreated, e_TargetUserName, e_TargetDomainName

        #  Find lockout events on a domain controller
        #    ideally you have log forwarding, audit collection services, or a product from a t-shirt company for this...
