Wevtutil Error

  • Article

I just found out today that the command listed to view all audit events for Vista and Windows Server 2008 does not work on installations if using a language other than English USA. The following command will result in an error as follows.

C:\Windows\system32>wevtutil gp Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing /ge /gm:true
