Create event log entries in Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003 logs many types of events for all sorts of events, including applications, system events, and security items. These event logs are helpful in tracking down performance issues and problems with the operating system or applications running on the server. You may find log entries especially useful for recording other events to the log by using the Windows Server 2003's command line utility. You can issue this utility within a batch file to record the actions of the batch file or call upon it during an installation to an event log.

The Event Create command for creating an event log entry is EventCreate. Executing the EventCreate command with the /? argument provides the commands shown in the table below.

C:> eventcreate /S \\servername /L Application /T Success /SO Application Name /ID 1754 /D "Description of event"
