I am trying to run a script every time a print event happens on a Windows 2008 R2 print server (Event ID 307 from PrintService?). I have a script that, given the information in the event, will parse it and make an entry on a MySQL database, but I have not found a way to transfer the details of the event to the script/task attached to it. Is this possible? I have found the parameters list in the Details view of the event, and I was hoping there was a way to export these to the tasks attached to the event; otherwise, exporting the text of the event would be enough as I can extract the info I need from it. Thank you for your help. FD

Hi, take a look at listing 3 in this msdn article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974579.aspx HTHEdoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

Yes, but the critical point is how to pass a reference of the actual event that started the task to the script; otherwise the script has to find the event by trawling through the Event Logs and if two of them happen close to each other, they might be confused. FD

? OK, I set up a task attached to the 307 events in PrintService. This task starts a VBScript which will take the text message from the event and parse it. How do I reference the text message from the precise event that triggered the task from inside the script (or through an argument to it)? FD
