Thanks for your help am not a WMI girl and you made my life misreable and I couldn't even download the WMIWatcher.zip and when I googled for it couldn't find it either, and even the http://www.lissware.net was not accessible. I will try the SMTP Event Consumer and see how it goes (Since it was the only link I could reach).
I thought it is a simple thing requested by many people, have the event viewer alarms (specific ones) delivered to thier mailboxes instead of checking the event viewer of the servers.
