Re: List and discription of ADS events

Hi Abhay,

   I believe that ADS messages are put into the MSEventLog under the 
Directory Service context. As usual nothing MS does is easy, so as far as 
I know there isn't any all encompassing list of messages (unless someone 
knows of one they can point us all to).

  What I've found useful, although it's a bit more of a pain, is to look up 
the event source of each type of message context on MS web site, and then 
use their Event and Error Message Center to look up all the event 
ids for a particular source.

  For AD, even though it's given in the logs as Directory Services, the 
event source is Active Directory. By going to the message center and 
selecting Windows Operating System in the Microsoft Product pull down, and then 
typeing in Active Directoy in the Event Source text box, and then asking 
it to GO, it will return pages and pages of Event ID associated with ADS.

Oh ya, here is a link to the message center:

Hope this helps a bit.
