In most cases, supplying
the password when prompted is safer from a security perspective than including this information
on the command line or as part of a batch file entry.

logname
Determines the name of the log to use for the event entry. The three standard logs
found on every Windows machine are Application, Security, and System. Many machines
include additional event logs installed by applications that the system uses.
Using Event Logs Effectively
Windows records all events in the event log. You can use the Event Viewer console in the Administrative
Tools folder of the Control Panel to view the events. The standard logs for events are Application, Security,
and System. Unfortunately, many users don??™t know the event logs exist and administrators don??™t
find time to use them. In many cases, someone will call me in to look at their system and I find the
answers I need to fix the error right in the event log that they failed to review. In fact, I??™m amazed at how
often the event log entry tells me what action to take or at least provides enough specifics that I can
research the repair in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Educating yourself about the event log and understanding how to use it effectively are important.
