Event logging in Windows NT/2000 provides a standard, centralized way for applications and the operating system to record important software and hardware events. Event logging provides a means to merge events from various sources into a single informative story. The event log diagnostics help the administrator view the System, Security, and Application event logs. You can view the Event Log Information on Windows NT/2000 managed workstations.
