Export all custom views of the Event Log

We're moving servers from 2012 to 2016. We have one server that has lots of Custom Views in the Windows Event Log that we don't want to lose. This can be easily exported one by one by right clicking and selecting Export Custom View. The goal however is to import these all on the new server.

enter image description here

I can't seem to find an article explaining how this is done with Powershell. Creating events and log names/sources is not a problem but the Views is something else

They're all stored in %ProgramData%:

Copy-Item -Path "$env:ProgramData\Microsoft\Event Viewer\Views\*" -Recurse -Destination C:\path\to\export\views\to\
