Adding a list item with PowerShell doesn't trigger event receiver

I have a simple list with an event receiver for the following events:

• ItemAdded
• ItemUpdating
• ItemDeleting

I confirmed that the event receiver fires when adding/updating/deleting an item from the SharePoint user interface.

However, it doesn't fire when I create the list item from a PowerShell script. The item is added to the list but the event receiver doesn't fire. Any thoughts on why this is?

Here's the relevant snippet of the PowerShell script:

# read offices from Data-Offices.xml $officeData = [xml](Get-Content .\data\Data-Offices.xml) # iterate through items and create them in Office list foreach ($office in $officeData.offices.office) { $newItem = $list.items.Add(); $newItem["Title"] = $office.title; $newItem.Update() Write-Host "Added Office: " $office.title } 

Wondering if there's a permissions issue here ... Tried running the script as an administrator but that didn't resolve the issue.

Thank you
