Event Viewer Properties Notebook

You can use the Event Viewer Properties notebook to change the settings for the Event Viewer window. For example, you can change the way events are refreshed, the way events are sorted, what fields are displayed, and how long events remain in the Event Viewer window.

The following pages are available in the Event Viewer Properties notebook:

To reset the defaults for a particular page to the system defaults, press the first Default button.

When you are done, select another tab to continue to a different page, or press one of the following push buttons:

OK
To exit the notebook and apply your changes.
Apply
To apply your changes, but keep the notebook open.
Default
To reset the settings for all pages to the system defaults.
Cancel
To exit the notebook without saving changes.

If you are signed on with administrative authority, you can select Save properties as system defaults to save the default settings across all consoles of this server. The new settings will take effect for each user the next time he or she signs on. However, if a user has changed properties, these changes override any changes saved by the administrator.
