windows event subscription Failed

[kabutosc]

Hi all,
I try to setting up windows event subscription on Windows server 2003 R2 SP2 as the event collector.
using this reference Setting up a Source Initiated Subscription (Windows)


but I get this message,

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>wecutil qc /q
Command qc is not supported. Error = 0x57.
The parameter is incorrect.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Okay by /q are you trying to get it to display command usage to you? Usually its either "command help" or "command /?", but from what I can see the qc message saying its not supported pretty much explains it all. Either something didn't get installed properly or is corrupted or both...

/q means runs silently, i try to use the command without /q and it has the same error.
I try on 2 machine on my lab, and both of them has the same issue.

Thanks

Well that command may have been for older versions than and is no longer supported as the message states.

Addendum:

Are you getting the wecutil, etc.. before qc in your command prompt before issuing it as the article describes? qc doesn't appear to be a command but rather a parameter to those commands. It says you need an elevated command prompt which suggests its for server 08 and you state you're trying to set it up in server 03... so basically you're trying to use newer instructions with an older version of the product hence the reason it might not be working becuase there may be differences there.

I check in Windows Event Collector (Windows)

I found in that url that server 2003 R2 is supported, I have install the ws management to and success.

I try to run wecutil, but it has another parameter following the wecutil, for example is QC (QuickConfig)

Do help on it and see if those are available options just in case since I guess the article seems to be referring to server 03 and server 08. I'll admit right now that I've never done this before, so help and more documentation is your best friend
