Event Viewer questions.... a good forum for a new Net Admin

Hi everybody:

Is there a good forum for asking questions and disscussing errors in Event Viewer? Or even a forum that's good for a new Network Administrator?

I am an adminstrator for a fairly small Windows 2003 network (7 servers, 50 clients), and I sometimes I get errors I don't know how to read in the Server's event viewers. Especially on my Domain Controller and Backup Domain Controller in Kerberos authentication.

I've done some Google searches on the errors, but it would be nice to participate in a forum environent.

Perhaps this is the place I could throw some out as well.

Thanks.

Checkout the knowledge base on Microsoft TechNet.

Errors in the system event log are from Windows or a Windows subsystem, so you should search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for those. Errors in the application event log are from installed software applications and 3rd-party services, so you should consult the documentation for the software posting the error(s).
