Hi All, I am trying to attach the task from event viewer for particluar event id's and i was success doing that, but i want the error description from the event viewer which was generated by system. Anyone please help me. My OS : 2008 enterprise Regards Jakdba Regards Jak

The easiest solution would be to attach a task to the event and in actions select run program, a program owuld be a powershelll script that reads errror message from that event log entry Example ps command: PS C:\Users\> Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object { $_.EventID -eq 1704 } | Select-Object -First 1 -Property Message Message ------- Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.
