I just want to touch against a feature in Windows Server 2008 R2 - 2012 which I believe is very cool. Windows Event Viewer has the ability to launch tasks automatically when a particular error occurs. This is great for companies that do not have System Center (or similar) tools in the environment to perform remediation tasks when problems occur on server infrastructure.
The button in Event Viewer is called "Attach Task to This Event"
Clicking it we can see that it actually relies on the Task Scheduler service to monitor the event logs.
Select Start a Program then associate it with cscript.exe or powershell.exe to launch a script that performs remediation tasks whenever the event error reoccurs. You can instruct your script to also notify administrators via email which is very easy with PowerShell using the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
