Knowledge Base FAQ Item #6850030

Q6850030: I am trying to monitor the Event Log with a VBScript check. However the result is always "uncertain", even when the built-in Event Log monitor shows an error. What is the uncertain state? Is this a permissions problem?

Most probably, it is uncertain because there's an error in the script as a result of a 'null' object. This happens when the remote machine cannot be accessed. Please try to temporarily remove the 'On Error Resume Next' statements in the script. Network Monitor will then show the line where the script error occurs. Most probably, it is due to a WMI security problem. To read more about that, click here.
