heh... if you know cause you know solution :)
event viewer tries to get events description from DLL, but because Event ID has been changed it fails. so - you can patch DLL so have actual events or you can write own Event viewer that will change IDsto correct ones. Microsoft confirmed this problem between W2K and NT4 exists. Interesting - check if Event ID is same if you view this log on remote PC. It's possible that you just need to register DLL, hmmm, but NTFRS - nope, it should be already installed...

Viewing from a Win2k Pro machine. I know by registering DLLs I can add them, but I was hoping there was an easier way. NTFRS was an example, but there are numerous services like this through out our forest. Maybe this is a 3rd-party money-making application opportunity. :)
