I recently used this on windows server 2008 and all that needs to be done to add additional source is to run as admin. Afterwards it can be run with standard rights to add events to the same / existing source.

How can you edit the XML attributes of an event log, and not only add description?

A very handy command.

There's a command in XP called EventTriggers. It configures the event system to trigger actions when user defined events are logged. EventCreate and EventTriggers are very complimentary, especially for testing.

Since Vista, the functionality of EventTriggers has been moved to schtasks.exe using the /EC ChannelName switch (and EventTriggers is no more). However, the documentation on this switch is a little sparse. Requesting a Two-minute drill topic on this functionality.

Is it possible to create a event with multiple lines in the description field? I tried adding return characters, special characters but no luck.

Thanks.
