Looking for a event id that can tell me that the computer has started
Hello,
Of all of the event ids that are generated when my PC starts, I am looking for one that I can use to trigger an e-mail to myself.
For example, when my backup starts, event id 4097 has been setup to trigger an e-mail to me stating that my backup has started. Event id 4098 has been setup to trigger an e-mail notifying me that my backup has finished.
In the past I had issues with my backups completing. Without going into the details, my backup issue appears to have been resolved. If I do not receive e-mails stating that my backup has started and
ended, I know that there was some issue and I can research the problem.
I sometimes leave my computer on overnight with some application open. In the past, my machine would sometimes restart.
I use to have a problem with my computer crashing or freezing. After my graphic card went bad and had been replaced, I do not believe that my PC crashes as often.
To early an event and I may not be able to send an e-mail.
When I get the e-mail and I know that neither I nor any member of my family did not start the computer, I can look through the logs to see if I can determine why.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a good event id to trigger on?
If I have select the wrong area to post this thread I apologize .
Thanks in advance
