Windows Event messages

An event is a significant occurrence in the system or in an application that requires administrators to be notified. The operating system writes notifications for these events to a log that can be displayed using the Windows Event Viewer. Three different log files are generated: application, security, and system.

  1. To access the Event Viewer, select Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.
  2. Select the Application or System log. See your Windows reference guide or online help for details on the information provided for each event.

  3. To view a detailed description, double-click an event.

    For additional information on customizing the Event Viewer (such as sorting the display, filtering the display, and so on), see your Windows reference guide or the Windows online help.

     

For a complete list of Double-Take events, see Event messages.
