To say that some event log messages descriptions are cryptic is an understatement. We, at www.eventid.net have decided to start adding plain English "translation" for some of these messages. This information is only available through an EventID.Net Subscription, a modest price for the work done by our consultants.

This could also be a way to describe the problem to your manager! Tip: First just mention the actual description and if you get a blank stare, wait a second and then say "Ok, what this actually means is...." and gave the plain English version.

Here are some examples:

Event ID 333:

Description An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in or write out or flush one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry.

English please I tried to read or write in the system registry but I got a problem. As far as I can tell, the registry is locked and there are problems saving the files that contain them to the hard disk.

Event ID 10004:

Description

DCOM got error <error description> and was unable to logon .\IWAM_CORPDOM in order to run the server: {<component GUID>}

English please

I tried to run an application that is using DCOM (a technology that enables me to run part of the application on another computer and me just to get the results). Since this type of application requires me to logon, I tried to do that using the \IWAM... account but the DCOM application rejected me. Maybe this account doesn't have the right to execute that application or there may be other problems - see the <error description>. If you want to identify the application that I tried to run, lookup the GUID in the registry.
