The Boot Configuration Data Store Editor (BCDEdit) command is a powerful replacement for the BootCfg utility provided with previous versions of Windows.

Windows Server 2008 : Enabling and Testing Event Subscriptions

The following table shows the steps to enable and test event subscriptions. These steps are performed on two domain controllers (DC1 and DC2). DC2 (as the source computer) forwards Active Directory Replication and other events to DC1 (as the collector).

Windows Server 2008 : Adding an Account to the Event Log Readers Group

When creating event subscriptions, you must use an account that has access to the event logs on all your source computers, and it’s best not to use the administrator account.
