    Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am new to Windows Server and have just done a fresh install of OS. All servers on the Server Manager show red and give the same error message "Cannot Get Event Data Error".  In researching this error, the most likely cause is due to incomplete configuration, but I really can't see what I have missed.  The event viewer really doesn't show much of anything.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like the Event Log had some corrupt entries from install.  After clearing the event logs, the problems went away.

    Hi kmcnet,

    Thanks for the response. The window event log is running. Below is a screenshot of the server manager:

    I am receiving 5 notification, 'Events' from system could not be enumerated, FileServer.Events.xml could not be enumerated, PrintServices.Events.xml could not be enumerated, FaxServer.Events.xml could not be enumerated, and WebServer.Events.xml could not be enumerated.  I've run BPA, but nothing is found.

    Not really sure how serious this problem is.  There seems to be a lot of posts on this topic without consistent resolution.

    Can you guys clarify which Windows Event Logs you cleared, exactly? ie, System, Setup, Application? Did you have to reboot or do anything else?  Also, did your event logs stop logging? 

    I've cleared the Event Logs (App, System), but it didn't seem to make any difference.

    It seems odd to have to clear the event logs, since mine are working.  But, I'm getting the same Dashboard alerts as you guys- ie Webserver, File, Applicationserver.xml

    Thanks,
    Detrich
