Understanding Event Viewer

Could anyone recommend any good sites or resources for breaking down and learning about event viewer? Any info would be appreciated.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi, here are a few pages to get you started.http://www.7tutorials.com/basics-about-working-event-viewer-windowshttp://www.howtogeek.com/school/using-windows-admin-tools-like-a-pro/lesson3/Once you find the event then take the event id number and go Google it.IE: "Event id 4227" when put in a google search reveals;https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735929(v=ws.10).aspxAfter that it boils down to a bunch of reading. Experience helps once you start deciphering these events. Also try to think through the problem logically and start with the earliest event that you think is involved in whatever problem you are trying to solve. Usually the first error or warning is the culprit and may cause subsequent errors that may be misleading because the first one caused them to exist in the first place.

Cisco IDSM Event Viewer - Understanding Event ID

Hi Everyone
Attached in this discussion is a screen shot of the Event Viewer. Just to inquire, I see a lof of these message e.g. TIPC: Lost contact with, TIPC: Lost link etc.
Is this a problem? These error messages comes with Event ID, but I'm unable to find the meaning of the Event ID. Can someone advice me please.
Thank you
Regards,
Ram

TIPC messages are communications between the IPS module and the main Chassis. Looks like there are some issues in the communication which may go away after you reset the device. As for the eventID, any event or alert that is generated on the sensor will be assigned a unique ID. This is called the eventID and is used to correlate the summary alerts vs First alerts, Log events to alert events, etc.
Hope this helps

Programmatically change Event Viewer properties in C#

Hi there,
First of all, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this post (my guess is not). Someone please let me know what the right forums is if you see this is not and I will try to move it. thx.
IIS 7.5 supports IIS configuration auditing by setting a Event Viewer property:
Event Viewer/Applications and
Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Operational/Enable Log.
I tried it through Event Viewer and it worked great. But what I need is not to do that manually using Event Viewer.
Instead, I need to achieve that programmatically in C# through API - an API for programmatically setting the above Event Viewer property (not IIS property) so that I can enable the logging .
Is that possible?
If so, how?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Changing the Event View Field Display Order on a Calendar

We'd like to change the display of a calendar event to show the Title on top and the time below. This is how it currently looks below. Is there a way to change it?
Orange County District Attorney

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to change the Event View Field display order on a Calendar.
You need to insert the code below into a Content Editor Web Part.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeCalendarOrder() {
$(".ms-acal-sdiv").each(function () {
var arr = $(this).find('div').toArray();
var temp;
temp = arr[0];
arr[0] = arr[2];
arr[2] = temp;
$(this).html(arr);
//alert($(this).html());
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('calendarEventLinkIntercept');
// hook into the existing SharePoint calendar load function
function calendarEventLinkIntercept() {
var OldCalendarNotify4a = SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b;
SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b = function () {
OldCalendarNotify4a();
changeCalendarOrder();
</script>
The result is as below:

Hi Ramy,
Sorry for the mistake , I'm using 2012R2 and I have the event ID 13002 .
Now I realize you are using 2012 not R2 , so I found a 2012 host to verify that ... you are right .

These last four errors were shown and generated intermittent communication between the telephony server (CallManager) and the IPCC because all active calls were interrupted.
I searched online documentation but can not get anything to tell me the meaning of these errors, their causes and some plan of action.
I appreciate your support to understand why these errors and explain to the customer the cause of these.
Thanks.
Best Regards.

Hi,
1. CSA denying the Java periodical update process from contacting its server. This can be safely ignored (Java is the platform of UCCX but is updated with a UCCX update, updating Java separately is not necessary, and in fact, not recommended. However, Java contains this periodic update check and - as far as I know - it cannot be turned off programmatically).
2. Tape cleaning required - is there a tape drive attached to the server?
3-7. Temporary network communication issue.

Repeating Event Viewer;event 26226,Chkdsk

Hey,,
I installed Visual Studio 2013 for the first time just to see if I would be even somewhat capable of handling or understanding it. As I began exploring the features, I triggered the "event viewer". It reported "Event
26226 Chkdsk". Just before I installed the Visual Studio I ran analysis and clean-up of C and D drives. Nothing eventful there, regained about 1.75 GB of space then moved on. The event viewer keeps reproducing itself in its entirety non-stop unless another
program starts running, then it reports that event, then starts again. The same info over and over. I can't find the stop switch, Can someone please help?
Thanks
The Rookie

Hi EWAGOSIA,
After all, I am supposing this is an information or warning level event, does your computer have symptoms such like frequently hanging, random freezing or blue screen? If not so I guess it's nothing to worry about.
I still think it is caused by bad compatibility of some applications or drivers. You could start with update your video driver and DirectX.
If the error still persists update all device drivers and keep your system up to date for good measure.

Do you have antiVirus installed on the sharepoint servers?
These folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use file-level antivirus software in SharePoint. If these folders are not excluded, you may see unexpected behavior. For example, you may receive "access denied" error messages when files
are uploaded.
Please follow this KB and exclude the folders from Scanning.

Please upload and share with everyone copies of your System and Application logs from your Event Viewer to your Sky Drive and post a link here.
To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window select Windows
Logs and System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files.
For help with Sky Drive see paragraph 9.3:

Some Event Viewer reports are generated solely because the computer is in safe mode or safe mode with networking. You have at least one example of this in your long list. If you do not see the same report for a time when
the computer was in normal mode then it can be disregarded.

No sound, explorer.exe not starting, no event viewer

I set up a new PC recently and installed Windows 7 Pro. Approximately once every few days I get a problem which, oddly, has several seemingly different manifestations. I mean that if I see one of these, all the others can be observed as well, until I reboot.
These manifestations are:
Windows Media Player will not play an audio file (.wav, .mp3), usually just hanging. VLC player will not hang but will not produce sound either. Video content is played OK though.
Explorer (if started by left clicking on the toolbar button) will bring up the message “Invalid signature” and won’t start. If started by right clicking and then selecting one of the folders in the “last used” list it will start OK though.
Computer – Manage will dim screen and display a UAC message (normally it would start straight away). After getting through this message, the “Computer Management” window will duly pop up, but it will be missing the Event Viewer item in the left panel.
I could find nothing suspicious in the event logs.

I'm adding another image: Task Manager:
I thought it's worthwhile because total CPU usage shows 12% (and it stayed for a while around that value), but each individual process was consuming 0%.
There were a few error messages in Application and System logs but I think I saw them quite often, so they were not specific for this occasion. They are:
WMI error:
Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events
cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Events show pictures in Events view but have no contents when opened

Hi. Using iPhoto 9.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.1 with library storage on Mavericks Server. When I go to Events view (under Library on the upper left navigation panel) I see events and on each I can hover over and scroll through and see the pictures. When I double click to open the event, no photos show. When I go to Photos view I see the pictures.
Thoughts on what to do? Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

How do you change the Event Viewer archive location in Server 2008 R2?

We're wanting to redirect the security and system event viewer logs to the D:\ on a Server 2008 R2 box
We've got the current logs to save there, however all archived system/security logs are still being saved on the c:\ in their default location in %windir%\system32... and killing the OS partition.
I can write something up in PoSh and schedule it, but I'd rather use any built-in capabilities first...
I've taken a peek in the HKLM\Services\CurrentControlSet... hive where the event viewer behavior is configured and do not see an option to set a path for the archive location...

Unfortunately, you cannot customize the location of archived event logs in Windows. The logs will always be archived to %windir%\system32\Winevt\Logs\Archive-xxxxxx
There'd be some scripts can help you automatically archived logs to another location. You can find them here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=security

Unable to refresh the schema of FIM MA.Getting an error in Event viewer ""the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1"

Hi,
We have installed FIM MA with an account that have all the sufficient rights.It got created successfully and worked for Full Import and Full Sync. But, due to some version incompatabilities, we have installed a patch.PFB link for the patch.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2969673/en-us
Now, we are trying to refresh the schema of FIM MA. While doing that we are facing an error "Failed to connect to database". The user account with which we are connecting has read and write permissions on DB.In the event viewer some errors are
logged like "the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1122" with event ID 3. PFB images for more detailed
view.
Please advice how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Prasanthi.

Hello,
seems to me that you maybe only updated the syncengine but not portal/webservice.
I had that error once after an recovery from scratch and forgot one of the hotfixes to apply to all services.
