Every morning, I get emails from my Linux servers with the output of 'logwatch' summarizing interesting events that occurred the day before, often leading to some corrective action.
Does anyone have an equivalent utility for Windows machines?
A client called with a support issue and I logged onto their machine and reviewed the Event Log. It was full of interesting stuff, some of which I'm still trying to resolve.
One of the more interesting was a C0000118-something "AirSpace" error that was caused by an Office log which was locked to a max size of 1Mb and needed to be cleared manually, rather than being set to Overwrite or Rotate. Every time the client got a "Do you want to save your changes?" error, all the details were written to the log. The change was easy to apply, once the error became known. There was nothing in the desktop UI nor pop-up notices that this was happening.
I know this is more a sysop question than a developer question, hence [NF] for Not Fox but not Off-Topic.
