Event viewer email alerts

Windows Server 2008 Event viewer there is an option to Attach task to this event. Is there a Microsoft solution, to send an email alert for any Error messages that flag up in the event viewer?

You can use Attach task to this log or simply create a new scheduled task.

• Use the trigger When a specific event is logged
• Choose the log you want to monitor (you can choose multiple logs in the advanced task settings)
• Set the action to Send an e-mail (and provide the nescessary information)

If you want any error sending a message you have to refine the trigger.
Edit the trigger and choose custom. Then you have to press the button new event filter…

• Tick Error in the error level part
• In the drop down menu by log you can choose the log you want to monitor

With this event filter you get a message for each error that occurs.
