Frozen when collecting

 


Maybe your eventlogs are too large:

 

1.   Start TaskManager.exe on InstallationServer

2.   Kill the process W2kEventLogReport.exe

3.   Manage the last server shown in dialog, when collecting

4.   Open EventLogViewer from ControlPanel

5.   Save a backup of all EventLogTypes

6.   Delete all EventLogTypes

 

Maybe your eventlogs are corrupted:

 

1.   Manage the last server shown in dialog, when collecting

2.   Disable the EventLog-service from ControlPanel

3.   Reboot the server

4.   Delete C:\Windows\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt

5.   Delete C:\Windows\system32\config\SecEvent.Evt

6.   Delete C:\Windows\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt

7.   Enable the EventLog-service from ControlPanel

 


Index- html-file:

Only shows a table for report-files without any links to report-file


If C:\TryWareDk\W2kEventLogReport\Html\ W2kEventLogReport-2004.html shows a table for report-files without any links to report-file, then run W2kEventLogReport.exe one time with the following change in C:\TryWareDk\W2kEventLogReport\Setup.ini

 

OnlyCreateIndexHtml=Enable

 

This happens the first time, after upgrading from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.1 

:o) Sorry

 


Index- html-file:

 

Incomplete, without any table for report-file


If C:\TryWareDk\W2kEventLogReport\Html\ W2kEventLogReport-2004.html is incomplete, without any table for report-file, then you probably run W2kEventLog on a computer not connected to a Windows 2000 server network.

Error shown for this in version 1.1.0 

 

 

 

Scheduling Tasks

 

W2kEventLogReport.exe process runs forever without doing anything

 

 

This happens if RunSilent=Enable in Setup.ini and a error occurs, normally producing a messagebox with the error-description. The occurring error could be a server not responding.

 

Update to version 1.1.0, and use the builtin Task Scheduler. Remember to change Run As to domain administrator and supply with the password in Scheduling Tasks MMC.
