the right way to use event log

[andrea]

Event log is very useful, but in many cases the Event ID descriptions
connot be found.
Please, can someone tell me what I have to do to make it work?
thanks

Here some examples:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 20/06/2007
Time: 3.19.43
User: N/A
Computer: OEM-8D0WYAD02FB
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 7000 ) in Source ( Service Control
Manager ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /
AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for
details. The following information is part of the event: Terminal

andrea,

You may want to add "Software Installation Group Policy Extension" component to your image and it will get some required files to
get the event log detailed info.

More complete list of components that register Eventlog sources I have mentioned in this thread:
