Hey Luis, It sort of depends on the scale of your environment. If you are running a handful of servers, you could use VBScript and WMI to do this pretty easily. There are several scripting books around; I'm sure someone can recommend one. There are also some shareware products that do this sort of thing.
If you have a larger scale network (tens to hundreds of servers), you might consider a commercial product such as Heroix eQ, or LogCaster from RippleTech. I'm sure there are others. If you're really bucks-up, you can look at Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), or HP OpenView for this sort of functionality. They are more oriented toward end-to-end, soup-to-nuts monitoring of the network, not just event log aggregation.

I'm currently managing several Win2k servers -- domain controllers, exchange, file servers, web servers, sql, etc. -- and would like to figure out a way to receive email notification of "error" and "warning" messages from the Event Logs (Application, Security, System, DNS, File replication, etc) of each of these servers. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I'm hoping to move away from having to check each servers logs to spot a (potential or existing) problem. Any help, as always, is much appreciated.
