This is what we are thinking so far...

The thing is that when the machine boots until Windows starts the WinMgmt service we 
won't be able to connect to it via WMI. Now, at some point (less than 60 sec because 
that is the interval that the passive monitor checks the connections) WUG will connect 
and will issue a query for all *NEW* instances of WinEventLog with the setup 
properties.

The tricky issue is in how and when Windows will generate these event logs. If it 
generates them before we establish the connection and setup the query, then  we will 
get those as they are new since we connected. If Windows generates them before we 
connect, they won't be captured for they are old instances.

Now, what we can do to ensure that we capture all is when we freshly connect, acquire 
all instance (those that also match the criteria), process them, and then issue a 
query just for the new ones.
 
This has a big disadvantage, though. Every time you restart WUG it will do that and 
will capture all instances, including the ones that have been received the previous 
time you ran WUG. That can cause actions to be fired again.

The possible solution to this to add in a time filter in these reconnection 
situations.  Something along the lines of "give me everything valid that is less than 
120 seconds old".

I have entered a Feature Request for this.

I will play with this.

My inititial impression is that maybe we are looking at some sort of
initialisation delay.  You are looking at reboot events..  so WUG would have
been restablishing connectivity to that log.

Yes. Dirty reboot and successful reboots.

Is it possible to get 6006, 6008 events? I am having the hardest time
getting the map to see those. I have about 10 others that I look for and
they work across all maps fine but 6006, 6008 don't.
