Configuring Console Preferences

Administrators can configure preferences that affect all event console definitions. The following event console preferences can be configured:

Some console preferences, such as severity colors and highlighting, can be overridden by operators if an administrator allows it as a console preference setting. Each operator can then customize their own Event Viewer preferences for those items. If an administrator chooses to not allow operators to customize preferences, the preference options are inactive in Event Viewer. Actual events and other operators' consoles are not affected when operators customize their own Event Viewer preferences.
