Here is an example of an unsuccessful logon attempt generated by the accessed system when the attempt failed:. Well-written applications also log authentication failure events. It includes information about who attempted to log on and why the attempt failed. The Security log captures events when an account has been granted elevated privileges.
Several different event IDs correspond to privilege assignment events, but event ID is for special privilege assignments. In this example, a user has been granted Local Administrator privilege. The details show the new privilege, who granted it, and the group where the account was added. You can write custom scripts to filter these events for security audit reporting.
You can also create a custom view to view these events. These events include all successful logons by users with administrator privileges. The information includes items such as:. To learn more, you can read a description of all the fields of this log event. The Application and System logs can tell you when and why a crash occurred. For example, it can give you a clue if this was due to a system or application problem.
Almost all critical errors generate more than one event log entry. There are usually a number of previous warnings or errors prior to the final critical error. When troubleshooting, be sure to look at the messages preceding the crash error.
To find these events, filter your log data for a particular application name, then by critical or error events, and finally sort them by date. These are three of the most common events when troubleshooting a crash:. An unexpected reboot error appears in the log when the system fails to shut down and restart gracefully. A likely cause of this error is the operating system stopped responding and crashed, or the server lost power.
Look for events preceding the reboot to see a possible root cause. An application hang error appears in the Event log when a program running in your server stops responding. An application fault error appears in Event log when a program running in your server encounters a critical error. This error is generally a bug in the application code or an issue with memory running out.
A Windows service is a special kind of application that runs in the background and has its own Windows session. People often want to know why a particular service did not start or run successfully. You can find service failures in the Application log by filtering on Service Control Manager source and then filtering for critical or error events.
Here are common examples of failed service events. This error is logged when a service fails to start normally. In this example, the Group Policy Client did not start in a timely fashion. The event and its message indicate when the problem happened.
Check the preceding messages to track down the root cause. A service timeout error appears when a service does not start within the expected period of time default is three seconds. Normally services are designed to start quickly and run continuously to spread out processing load. This error could be due to the service waiting for a resource that was not available. This example shows an event generated from the Windows Error Reporting Service.
Thanks Glyn. Wednesday, October 17, AM. Hi, Windows Error Reporting is a flexible feedback infrastructure that gathers information about hardware and software problems, reports the information to Microsoft, and gives users any available solutions. Windows Error Reporting generates reports in response to system events, such as application crashes or kernel faults. I do not search the frequency that the system logs Event Log and how to change such a log frequency.
I think if the Windows Error Report is enabled, it will be logged when the Windows operating system finds a error or warning, and its reporting frequency should be set by the developer. If we can manually set its reporting frequency, we may not be able to capture such an error or warning reports in real time when the Windows operating system finds a problem. If there is no problem for us, I think we can ignore it. Thursday, October 18, AM. Hi Daisy, I think you have missed the point. Regards Glyn.
Hi, We try to set these two settings to see if we can log less Event Logs. Best Regards, Daisy Zhou Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help. Friday, October 19, AM. If there is a known issue with Windows, Microsoft will release a fix through Windows Update, repairing the issue.
Windows Update also provides fixes and patches for other important things, such as security or outdated files. If there is an update, save any important files, then press Restart now. Your system will reboot during the process. A bluescreen of death is never a happy moment for any Windows user.
Now you know how to use a stop code to identify and fix any issue, you won't find them quite so irritating. I mean, they're still annoying, but at least you know how to move forward and fix the next Windows Blue Screen Error.
