    Remote Server Event Log

    Reply Contact

    I am using LogParser2.2 to read remote computer's Event Log, its working when connected to Local Event Log but giving the following error when connect to remote computer event log......

    The description for Event ID in Source "" cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.

    any idea why this error?

    This could happen if you run LogParser on the computer where you don't have a valid source for the remote event in a registry.

    You may:

    1. Run LogParser on the pc where you have your log file to analyze.

    2. Add a source to the local registry of the computer with the LogParser.

    Here's how I did it for IBM ServeRAID manager:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\ServeRAID Manager Agent]

    "EventMessageFile"="c:\\program files\\ibm\\serveraid manager\\ntlogmsg.dll"

    By that, you're telling your local eventlog subsystem to use ntlogmsg.dll file as a source with event descriptions.

    Hope that helps
