Hi @butface ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with your Windows 8.1 and the event viewer. Here is how to open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Event Viewer.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebook ,

How to save all event viewer log files in Windows 7 Professional

Hello,
I would like to save all Event Viewer logs from my Windows 7 Professional computer and be able to view them from another computer. Currently I can only save one log at a time. Please let me know how I can save all Event Viewer logs
(Windows Logs, Applications and Service Logs, etc.).
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
There is no idea to save all categories log.
It's recommend you ask in Official Scripting Guys forum for further help:

Typographical error found in Event Viewer log for Event 8003. The source is "bowser" not browser.

I found a typographical error in the Event Viewer log.
Error 5/19/2014 1:07:52 AM bowser 8003 None
The body of the message is typical of the NetBIOS messages regarding master browser network control...
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer...
Even though this is not critical, it should be updated at some point.

Kereros error in event viewer logs.

Hi All,
We have configure Vintella SSO on XI3.1 previously and for some reasons now we have changed to NTLM SSO but still we are observing kerberos error in event viewer logs.
Error1 : Kerberos error was received on log on session , client time and server time etc.
Error 2: Kerberos client received KRB_AP_Error_Modified server host/fully qualified name .THis indicate that password encrypts the kerberos service ticket different than that on target server commonly this is due to identically named machine account in the target realm and the client releams.Please contact your adimistrator.
Please help.
THanks....

That's a Microsoft Error coming from a Microsoft log, I can't be sure what's causing it, you need to consult Microsoft.
Usually in their errors the service account that generated it (if by a service account) is one of the details or in the error message. You may need to stop running something with a service account...

Interpreting event viewer logs

what's the best approach to interpret event viewer error logs?
I'm having problems and they seem to get worse. I can't quite get my head around the best way to diagnose.
I have seen these errors:
Power Kernel
Open gl error
hard disk has a bad block
It's quite dizzying to decipher things.

Whew .... I think issue(s) are resolved.
I suspect initially I had an audio driver conflict causing freeze ups.
http://www.evga.com/support/knowledgebase/
Next I got confused on my onboard Marvel raid needs and installed an extra driver.
I uninstalled but crapola remained and I used Driveseeper to clean things.
So far so good! Wow ... I can actually edit today!

OCS 10.1.2.2 Windows - oidldapd.exe - Event Viewer reports faulting appl.

Hi, just a (maybe) useful information:
I had troubles with several errors about OIDLDAPD.EXE reported in the Event Viewer on my Win2003ServerR2 box (OCS 10.1.2.2 installed).
I was also experiencing stability problems. Now and then, parts of the environment (mail application and calendar especially) where crashing.
I went into "my server" --> properties --> advanced, and excluded "oidldapd.exe" from being checked by the "Data Execution Prevention" feature, that was (at least on my server) enabled by default for all the processes running on the machine.
Now, everything seems to run smoother than ever (at least during last week). No more instability, no more records in the Event Viewer.
Hope this can be of help for anyone having similar problems.
Roberto

Hi,
It could be a case of a corrupt installation which could be causing the crash.
Could you please follow, ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ suggestion, and uninstall the current installation of Adobe Reader 10.1.2 and restart if prompted for.
Try and install Reader 10.1.0 again (from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/zh_CN/AdbeRdr1010_zh_CN.msi).
Now update the same to 10.1.2 using the installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.2/misc/AdbeRdr1012.msp
Try and launch Adobe Reader post the successful installation.
Do ensure not to launch the application during the updating process.
Hopefully this should fix things.
Thanks

Windows is Scanning and repairing drive... (- Errors in Event Viewer)

Long post, please be patient... :)
I have a fairly new (purchased 8/2013) Lenovo ThinkPad T431s with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (updated from 8.0 -> 8.1). It has a very tricky error coming basically 8 / 10 boots:
Windows is Scanning and repairing drive...
Error details from Windows Event Viewer (a new similar error appears on every boot to event viewer):
A corruption was discovered in the file system structure on volume \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}.
A file on the volume is no longer reachable from its parent directory. The parent file reference number is 0x2000000000002. The name of the parent directory is "". The parent index attribute is ":$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION". The file reference
number of the file that needs to be reconnected is 0x400000003db80. There may be additional files on the volume that also need to be reconnected to this parent directory.
What has been done 1st trying to fix that:
SSD disk has been changed (image from previous SSD copied back) ->
no solution, error remains
chkdsk /F /R -> no solution, error remains
SFC /scannow -> no solution, error remains
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth -> no solution, error remains after a few boots
TRIED using Windows 8.1 "Update & Recovery -> Refresh Your PC without affecting your files" -> Inserted the Lenovo "Operating System Recovery Disk Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation 3.0 Required)" BUT Windows did not accept
that DVD claiming "The media inserted is not valid"... ???
Ended up calling Lenovo Support and they instructed me to order the Recovery DVD from
Lenovorecovery.com -> Unfortunatelly Windows does not recognice the DVD(s)...
mountvol returns:
\\?\Volume{4d337687-0033-42f7-8a8e-b6968b533cb3}\
(This is my C:\ drive where Windows installation resides)
\\?\Volume{e010cf9d-c04d-4c82-b517-3cda1b647fe7}\
*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***
\\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897}\
*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***
Then running fsutil dirty query on each returns:
Volume - \\?\Volume{4d337687-0033-42f7-8a8e-b6968b533cb3} is NOT Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{e010cf9d-c04d-4c82-b517-3cda1b647fe7} is NOT Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} is Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897} is NOT Dirty
The chkdsk on the dirty volume
\\?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}\ returned:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or
other shadow copy data.
A snapshot error occured while scanning this drive. Run an offline scan and fix.
Diskpart output on the same volume:

Partition 3 System 260 MB 1129 MB
Partition 4 Primary 146 GB 1389 MB
Partition 5 Recovery 350 MB 147 GB
Partition 6 Recovery 19 GB 148 GB
Questions:
1) Are my Partitions OK, haven't "touched" anything?
2) Excluded the dirty volume from boot checking with chkntfs /x
-> still the Error appears in Event viewer log (but Scanning is skipped/not shown anymore during the boot).
What is causing the error?
3) Why do I have three (3) recovery partitions?

What has happened in the past days:
A) Lenovo on-site-Support changed the motherboard -> had no impact on the error (which I expected).
B) I found
instructions how to manually create USB Flash stick with a booting Custom (OEM) Recovery Image.
C) Booted with USB and performed "Refresh your PC without affecting your files."
D) Windows was refreshed but...

Still the error remains (Windows scanning and repairing drive \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} on each and every boot.

Now Lenovo support is proposing a full re-install (to be performed by myself) of Windows as this is SW issue.

- The error remains on \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} (\Device\HarddiskVolume5; Lenovo Recovery partition) OR at least Windows thinks so...

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

MSE Event viewer errors

Hi,
recently I see two errors in the event viewer at every login. I think they are related to MSE. I already reformated my system but the errors occur right after I install MSE. The errors indicate that some rights are missing, but I use an administrator account,
therefore access should be granted. Please note that this is a fresh windows 7 installation without any third party software. I just install windows (no OEM), every driver, sp1, all windows updates (also recommended). Then I install MSE. After rebooting (into
an admin account) the errors appear.
I tried to reproduce the errors in a virtual machine with only win7 installed and every (also recommended) update. At first the errors didn't appear. Then I reverted the VM back to the point before I install MSE (which is after every update is applied)
and tried it again. I expected that these errors won't be there because I did just the same as before. But this time (after MSE was installed again) I rebooted multiple times and the errors appeared. I tried several other scenarios (admin/limited account etc)
but wasn't able to track down the actual cause. I think that MSE is working despite these error messages. However, when I see that the network inspection is not working, I'm getting worried.
Errors:
1) Event ID 7006 The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Start with the following error:
Access is denied.
2) Event ID 3002 Microsoft Antimalware Real-Time Protection feature has encountered an error and failed.
Feature: Network Inspection System
Error Code: 0x80070005
Error description: Access is denied.
Reason: The system is missing updates that are required for running Network Inspection System. Install the required updates and restart the computer
Thank you!

P6N Sli Platinum event viewer error

On my new P6N Sli Platinum mainboard, every time I boot up I get the following error in the event viewer log:
"The ForceWare IP service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified. "
I think this has to do with Nvidia network drivers. The network seems to work ok, although I have by default two network controlelrs: one labelled "1394 Net Adapter" and another "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller". Which of these that handles the actual connection seems to change randomly, but it doesn't seem to affect the performance.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the updates from winupdate.
Does anyone else have the same issue?

On my new P6N Sli Platinum mainboard, every time I boot up I get the following error in the event viewer log:
"The ForceWare IP service service failed to start due to the following error:

I still get this error in event viewer each time I start up. I went to administrative tools->services and tried to enable the Forceware IP Service manually: system cannot find the path specified. The path box in the service properties is empty.
After googling I found that the service corresponds to the following executable: nsvcip.exe. This file is not found in my system. Is this normal? Does anyone else of you have this file?
Apart from the error message in event viewer my system is functioning perfectly.

My Microsoft WSUS Update Services Issues/Event Viewer Service Issues

Hello,
So yesterday I began investigating why my PC's that were pointed to the WSUS weren't recieveing patches for their particular group. I checked to make sure it was approved and the client was in my client group. When I went to continue my troubleshooting today
Update Services within the WSUS role gives me an Error: Connection Error. My Clients when I force them to check for updates also fail. I went to review my Event Viewer logs and it tells me to start the Event Viewer services. When I try to start the
services it tells me Error 5 Access Is Denied. I've verfied that the policies allow my domain admin account access to the modify services and I've also rebooted it, still no joy.
Any help anyone can offer with these series of issues would be greatly appreciated!
-Russ Engelman
P.S. I'm not very coinfident with registry edits so if you suggest I try to modify the registry, please make it barney style. Thanks.

It seems these are two different problems, with Event viewer and with WSUS.
1. Did this system worked recently (correctly) or it is new one?
2. Make sure that you are logged as domain administrator (or better as buil-in AD administrator with highest priviledges.)
3. Generally services can depend on another processes (services). If these processes do no run, then you would not start process that is depending on these services.
4. WSUS: Clients could not receive (on demand) updates, when there was no initial synchronization.
5. WSUS: Make sure that GPO and computer group are set correctly
6. WSUS: Detect and reconnect clients with wuauclt
7. WSUS: Share your configuration here as well as reports.

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
Helmut

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
