Very inexpensive, reliable, flexible. I have it email many events to me just so i can keep up with what’s happening, but it can also respond to an event in many ways.

You can filter your events for certain types, such as success, failure audits, errors, etc.

To help trouble shoot, there is an event number or code that is associated with each event. Search the microsoft websites for these codes and they will usually help you…..usually.
hope this helps.

Microsoft has a free utility called ‘Log Parser’ (currently version 2.2). It is a steep learning curve to start. But the help file is excellent (440+ pages) and their are three different web sites providing support (prewritten scipts and explanations).

Getting beyond ‘Event Viewer’ to find specific entries of interest is a matter of separation. Don’t let the data swamp you.

Good luck.
