How to write to the system event log

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

I run a daily work to create an image of my drive system hard. Repeatedly the work began and, due to a material error, be abandoned. In some cases (mostly), this will result in the image of yesterday being destroyed, leaving me with no viable image in case I need to restore. Although the reader is old enough (3 years), I'm not want to replace it, because I know no other activity that has had a problem with it and diagnoses reported no problem.

So I want to execute a batch file or a script before the regular daily system backup operation. The script would go to a SMART short self-test, and if no errors are reported, would signal the backup task to run. Conversely, if the self-test report any error, the script don't trigger not the backup task to run. I think I will need to write an entry in a kind of system event log, which would be defined in the trigger condition in the entrance to the Windows Task Scheduler for the backup task. If anyone can help with the details of how to write an entry to a log of system events?

Or, perhaps, there is better way to achieve what I want to do?

I guess that there is not a very high probability that the script will always truly detect a problem and prevent the last image of the destruction. But I tell myself that it is worth the effort.

TIA

Assuming that smartctl generates an errorlevel nonzero in case it failed, the following script will work, as long as Smartctl is run under the same account as Casper.

I also made your script more transparent control setting. The if/then/else/if/then embedded instructions are perfect for computers, but are often misconstructed by the human mind. I'm a big believer in the KISS principle.

OFF @echo
FOR %%d Ko (% Date %) Today SET = %% A

SET now = time %
echo =.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.
ECHO% now %%d now %%d %2
echo"=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.
Si (« %3 « == » »
echo of the provided insufficient parameters
output/b 1
)

IF/i %1 is goto short Action
IF/i %1 is goto long Action
ECHO 1 Parm [%1] is INVALID
output/b 1

: Action
smartctl t %1 %2
the echo of SECONDS to WAIT for selftest %3
choice/n/t %3/d N
smartctl-l selftest %2%

Set Flag="%temp%\Smartctl.log".
If exist % del % % flag flag
If %ERRORLEVEL% is 0 echo. > Flag %

For the handshake to work, you must place the CASPER command inside a file of commands as follows:

off @echo

If exist c:\Casper\Casper.exe '% temp%\Smartctl.log '.

  • IP address conflict? How to solve this problem. Message on the screen. go to the system event log window.

    Next message on the screen for IP address conflict. There are two addresses. How to solve this problem. Message to say go to the system event log window. I can't. Pl help.

    A common situation that can lead to a conflict of ip address, it's only 2 (or more) computers or other devices are connected to the router (via ethernet or wireless), and both have ip addresses assigned by the router automatically, one of the computers, then past in mode 'sleep', and while we sleep the router restarts.  When the router comes back online he doesn't know the computer sleeps is here and that he already has an assigned ip address and so it gives the ip address of the other computer.  When the computer asleep wakes duplicate error will be triggered.  It can be solved by turning off computers and turn it back on so that the router will assign them new ip addresses.  If this is not what is happening in your situation, the following may help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Get-help-with-There-is-an-IP-address-conflict-message

    Hi sanjeevkode,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  As the question you posted typically associated with third party software / application that has its own way of program codes and call the corresponding system resources when installing and running. Therefore, I also suggest you to join the VMware Forums for the best support.

    VMware communities: http://communities.vmware.com/home.jspa

    In the meantime I suggest you try these options / methods

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft provides this information as a convenience to you. Proposed changes could lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems would be solved as a result of the suggestions. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Option 1: If you go to computer management, and then to the list of Services and find the VMware authorization Service, it appears as stopped? If so, you need to start

    Option 2: Try logging on as an administrator Local host during installation first workstation, rather than you connect with a domain ID

    Option 3: The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must enable security programs new that had disabled you

    Option 4: The problem could be linked to a local or domain group policy. Make sure that the local account is defined as 'local user __vmware_user__' in the local Administrators group and the permissions of "Log on locally" and "Log on as a service.

    The two parameters are available in the "* Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment *" branch of domain group policy or local.

    Let me know if it worked.
    Hope it will be useful.

    Hi captdexter,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    I suggest you follow the steps to resolve the problem that you are experiencing below:

    Step 1:

    Reset TCP\IP [Transmission Control Protocol of Protocol\Internet]:

    To reset the stack TCP/IP go to this article and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/299357

    Step 2:

    Disable the IP helpdesk:

    1 hold the Windows key and type R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter

    2. scroll down to the IP assistance service, right-click on it and select Properties.

    3. in the drop-down list box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to disabled and then click 'apply '.

    4. then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session

    5. click on OK to exit the dialog box

    Disable IPv6:

    Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces, the removal of virtual cards of IPv6 and reset the TCP/IP stack.  To remove the IPv6, go to the properties for each network adapter, and deselect the check box next to the Protocol "Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6), which will turn off, or select it and click on uninstall, which withdraw power off the computer.»  Then go into Device Manager and remove any 4to6 adapters, adapters miniport WUN or tunnel adapters.

    NOTE: You should do this for each network connection.

    Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

    Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756 ) how to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    Step 3:

    Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non Microsoft DHCP servers:

    To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

    2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    4 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}

    5. in this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.

    6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.

    7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.

    8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.

    9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

    10. close the registry editor.

    By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.

    Step 4:

    To clear the DNS cache:

    1. Click Start, type cmd in the search box, and then click cmd in the list programs.

    2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    3. once at the command prompt, type ipconfig/flushdns

    Let us know if the information above helps you.

    Kind regards

    Alternatively, you can remove the redundant entry using Autoruns.

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it.
