Use Event Viwer to investigate system events
*Some of this threads are valid for Windows Vista Only* Event Viewer is a powerful tool to investigate Windows System, application and security events. It's very useful for testers.The Event Viewer is an MMC snap-in that lets you browse and manage event logs. It is an indispensable tool for monitoring the health of systems and troubleshooting issues when they arise. The tool enables you to: • query across multiple event logs • save useful queries as views you can access later • schedule a task to run in response to an event • manage event subscriptions How to Start Event Viwer? The Event Viewer is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. You can start Event Viewer by adding the snap-in to MMC or by double-clicking the snap-in file, Eventvwr.msc, which is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 folder. In addition, Event Viewer can be started from the Windows interface or the command line by using the following procedures. To start Event Viewer by using the Windows interface 1. Click the Start button. 2. Click Control Panel. 3. Click System and Maintenance. 4. Click Administrative Tools. 5. Double-click Event Viewer. To start Event Viewer by using a command line 1. Open a command prompt. To open a command prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories and then click Command Prompt. 2. Type eventvwr. The eventvwr.exe command-line tool supports options that determine the computer the snap-in will connect to and the event logs it will display. When connecting to a computer running a previous version of Windows, the tool can be used to start the snap-in and connect to the remote computer, but the additional command-line options are ignored. ------------- MBA Examination papers
