Thank you Arek and Dave. I will try the event id 1074 first to see if that works for me, just so I do not have to enable or install any services.
If I do not have any success then I'll try the SNMP route. Wish me luck. ...Look for Windows Event ID 1074, which is a user initiated reboot. Or ...enable an SNMP agent on the server and poll the relevant MIB? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Wallace Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] server rebooted and alert needed Here's the text that the event generates: "The process <process> has initiated the restart of <computer name> for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found.

If you can think of another way please send it through. I was looking at "Event" options in whatsup but I wasn't familiar with them. Thank you. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hernandez, Jorell Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 1:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] server rebooted and alert needed Setup an SMTP alert when ping is lost From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hejna, Maria Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 1:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] server rebooted and alert needed How can I easily get an email alert when a server has been rebooted?
