Essential event viewer bugs with "Forwarded Events" log in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

To my general experience, Windows event viewer is one of the most problematic, faulty management tools in the case of extensive use of its more sophisticated capabilities. The sole description as well as reproduction of some entangled failures would require
remarkable effort.
With the "Forwarded Events" log however, the situation becomes particularly worse in that even simple functionality fails and workarounds are difficult to find. That’s what I’ll describe here in order to share my experience with interested users.
For precision: I’ve extensively used event viewer on a German Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows SBS 2011 Standard SP1). The bugs I found on that system, I could reproduce on a German Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1, too.
Problem 1: Failure of even simple event filtering
To reproduce this problem, execute these steps on a test machine with any of the two OS mentioned above:
(i) To prepare log contents, do either of the following:
(a) populate some events to your local "Forwarded Events" log (most simply by subscribing events from other logs of the same machine; stop subscription if you have collected some events)
Or
(b) copy a non-empty log file "ForwardedEvents.evtx" from another machine (with any of the two OS mentioned above) to your test machine and open the file in event viewer.
(ii) Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log and open the filtering dialog. In the "Includes/Excludes Event IDs" field, type: 1-9000. Click OK.
(iii) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no event IDs between 1 and 9000 in your test log?
(iv) Another example, if you have forwarded security events in your test log: Clear filter, if any previous filter is in place. Open the filtering dialog. In "Keywords" sub-dialog, choose "Audit Success". Click OK.
(v) Look at the results pane: Surprise, 0 Events! Do you really have no successful security monitoring events in your test log?
I’ll finish here. If you have a rich variety of events in your test log available, let your imagination run wild to test around. Finally include some simple manually created or modified XPath filters on the XML tab of the filtering dialog. I promise, you’ll
find a lot of additional strange results.
Problem 2: Cannot save manually selected events to .evtx file
Navigate to your "Forwarded Events" test log. In the results pane, select one or more events by highlighting them by mouse clicks. In context menu, choose "Save selected events". In the "save as" dialog, choose file type *.evtx
and save your file. Open the newly created file in event viewer. Result: Surprise, no events inside the new file!
Have more fun with forwarded events

Did you mean that right click Forwarded Event and select "Filter Current Log..."? Since I can filter correct event vai the "Filter Current Log..." in my Lab environment.
Hi Justin,
yes, I mean "Filter Current Log ... " (in my German systems: "Aktuelles Protokoll filtern ... ").
What do you mean with "my Lab environment" exactly?
In the meantime, I performed additional tests. I copied the "ForwardedEvents.evtx" test file from Server 2008 R2 resp. Windows 7 to
(i) German Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit RTM
(ii) German Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit, up-to-date
in order to view and filter the file there.
Results: Same event viewer problem on Windows 8 RTM, but correct behavior on Windows 8.1!
Best regards, Helmut

Windows 8 - user login and Kerberos Realm problems.

Hi,
Just installed Windows 8 Enterprise x64 from our MDT into our production enviroment for some final testing. I have done this with both Consumer and the Release Preview just to make sure our infrastructure can support user that want to run Windows 8 (Win
7 Enterprise will still be the default OS for our client desktops).
The problem I reported here with the Consumer Preview
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/W8ITProPreRel/thread/069f59be-b89c-4005-8cd2-ff5fd756825a is still alive and kicking.
Logon after fresh reboot. (Windows 8)
Username: XWYZ
Password: *********
Sign in to: "OURKERBEROSREALM.SE"
We authenticate all our users with our Kerberos Realm and in our AD's all user passwords are random dummy placeholders, and are linked to the Kerberos realm.
When a user lock their computer, or put it in sleep mode, they should see this at their login.
XWYZ (their full name)
"OURKERBEROSREALM.SE\XWYZ(their username)
Locked
Password: ********
But it does not show this… it shows:
XWYZ (their full name)
WINDOWS DOMAIN NAME\XWYZ(their username)
Locked
Password: ********
This meens that when they want to unlock their desktop, or login after sleep, it will try and authenticate their login on the domain AD and not the Kerberos realm. Howver if you choose to go back and select "other user" it defaults back to using "OURKERBEROSREALM.se"
as "Sign in to:" domain.
This worked flawlessly in XP, Vista and Windows 7, but not in Windows 8. Not having our Kerberos realm as default login in every scenario is kind of a bummer.

I had some brief time looking into this, and my awesome workbuddy found that you can poke about the keys found in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1
With the LastLoggedONSAMUser and LastLoggedOnUser values I changed from from "domain"\username to "kerberosrealm"\user, and when locking my computer or restating, I now have no need to choose "other user" every time I want to login again.
Atleast somewhere to start.

Report for login and logout time

Dear All,
Please can some one help me urgently.
I have to find out users login and logout time over the last six months. I need to find out how many hours per user are being used. What report do I need to run to find out ?

Hi,
Check the system log saved in your system.Normally the basis admin woulfd know better about this .Only they have the access and maintance for it.
Anyways u can try out some other ways also
Profile parameters rslg/local/file
/usr/sap/<SID>/D20/log/SLOG<SAP-instance_number> Specifies the location of the local log on the application server.
Alternatively try to table - SYST
Note: there are many transaction codes that can be accessed only by super users .do tell me if u have one so that i can give you?

Hi adil,
For your issue, you can create a custom security token service (STS) and then set up a trust relationship between a SharePoint 2010 farm and the custom STS.

Is there an application to monitor users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2?

I'm looking at Family Safety Feature in Windows 8 and like what they can do. I have a request to monitor, track users who log into Windows Server 2012 R2 to see how many users login, how long each login is for each user so a monthly report can be generated.
1. I just wonder if Windows Essential 2012 can be used for this purpose or not. If it can, is Windows Essential 2012 a feature can be added or installed on Windows Server 2012 R2?
2. If Window Essential 2012 cannot be used for this purpose, is there any feature in Windows Server 2012 R2 that can be used for this purpose?
3. Is there any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Hien Phan

Hi Hien,
Anything updates?
It seems that there is no feature can do that. I agree with Tim that you can check the event logs. In general, the event 4624 would be created when a user was logged on, and the event 4634 would be created when a user account was logged
off.

Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-v and System Center Expiration

Prometric says: STATUS: Passed, EXPIRATION: 22-03-2015.
Does this means that I have to take the exam again before 22-03-2015?

Hi, Daniel.
Let me understand this exactly.
You log into http://register.prometric.com/ and then on the left side, you click
Candidate History to see your list of exam attempts.
Under the Status Expiration column, all the way to the right, it should read
Passed and the date/time you passed it. Are you sure it reads
2015 and not
2014? Is there also
another date on that same row/column for this exam's expiration below the date you passed it?
On the Prometric site, this column is supposed to display the date you passed it and optionally the date it expires for many non-Microsoft exams.
Typically for Microsoft exams, this final column will state the day you passed the exam and
not an expiration date.
As well, by passing this exam, I know that you also earned a Specialist: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center certification title. This certification does
not expire.
Exam 74-409:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam.aspx?ID=74-409
Have you looked at your MCP transcript to see if a expiration date is mentioned there? No matter what it states on the Prometric site, your transcript will describe any exam/certification expiration dates much
more accurately.
Also, I understand that the 74-nnn series exams are Microsoft partner exams. Perhaps they
do require recertification to keep up to date with the latest certifications.
If your transcript does really contain an expiration, you can contact Prometric about this and see if they can help you understand it. Here is the Prometric contact information for Microsoft exams:
https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/pages/contact-numbers.aspx?client=microsoft
As well, if they can't help you, you can call/email Microsoft Learning Support with information found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx.
Finally, if you want to be sure how this exam works against your employer's Microsoft partnership, you can log in and view the Partner support page here:
https://partners.microsoft.com/partnerprogram/help/en-us/whgdata/whlstt14.htm#14
I hope someone can help you get this cleared up.
Good luck!

Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to or launch Window Server before login.

I'm getting this with the Citrix Receiver uninstaller from the command line... but not on all Mountain Lion 10.8.5 systems. Googling turns up a lot of ideas about a problem with the app or in pre/post-flight scripts, but since it works on some, I wonder. What is the mechanism that generates this error? I'm guessing there's some setting or condition that exists on one system that isn't true on the other. How do I find out?

Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 DNS Problem

Hi,
I have a DNS Server hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2 and our clients are using Windows 7. All are working fine then suddenly there are times that our client cannot access our internal site and cannot connect with our IM which is also hosted in the server.
Tried to ping the server's IP but got this result:
Ping request could not find host .com. Please check the name and
try again.
NSLookup works fine. Tried to use the ip address instead of the domain name and it works. Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas
regarding this?

Hi,
“Resetting network connection seems to resolve the issue but we cannot do it all the time especially when we have hundreds of computers in our office. Anyone have ideas regarding

It seems is the client IP address conflict, it may cause by your DHCP Conflict Detection Attempts value setup is not appropriate. You can try to set Conflict Detection Attempts
to a value other than 0.

Blue screen when logging into windows server 2008 r2

when logging into windows server 2008 r2, all I have is a blue screen and the mouse.
I tried looking for solutions on the internet, then I found a microsoft hotfix "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2590550" I run the hotfix in command line but it gave me nothing, no error or success messages.
I tried to reboot but I still have the same problem.
Is there any solution to this problem ??

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Did you face this issue during remote session or console session?
In addition, have you try to change or install any driver\software which cause this problem?
Have you use any debugging tools from Microsoft to find respective error cause?
You can refer following article for memory dump.

I have windows server 2012 R2 and install active directory

My question is I install active directory in windows server 2012 R2 and create Group Policy. ( These set-up is only for test)
Have not registered domain only install active directory to test.
So the problem is when I created Group policy for my user and put software restriction policy but its affected to my administrator accounts too, No when I open VMware (install Virtual Machine windows XP) and start os then its shows you can not user this
software as you restricted from installing software (Something like that don't know exact Error). I could not start installed Virtual Machine.
Please give me a solution for this.
This is the setup for a test use only so their not big environment connect with my pc.
Thanks in advance.

Krunal

Hi,
The following article is talking about creating and managing Group Policy on a Windows Server 2012:
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Creating_and_managing_a_Group_Policy_on_a_Windows_2012_Server
As Darren Blanchard mentioned, if you want to apply the GPO, you could link it to an OU that contain the computer or user.

Hello,
your description is a bit confusing. You get the error message when you try to add the other DC to the DNS management console on one machine?
Both DCs belong to the same domain according to your description?
Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DC/DNS servers here.
BTW: PDC/BDC concept is gone since the start from AD with Windows 2000 Server. All DCs are the same, difference are only the FSMO roles, still that can be held from any DC in the domain according to some rules.

Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?

We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same?

Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
CAL licensing method).
(whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
Here's some introductory reading:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.
