SYMPTOMS
If you use Event Viewer on a computer running Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 to remotely view then save a remote computer's event logs to the remote computer's drive, a warning event will be posted in the local client computer's system event log as follows:

  Source: Rdr Category: None Type: Warning Event: 3031 User: N/A Computer:  Description: The redirector was unable to delete the file specified on               server SKYMAN1 when it was closed by the application. The data contains the name of the file.

CAUSE
Rdr.sys supplied with Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 introduces the Event ID 3031 warning. The warning does not interfere with the operation of Event Viewer saving the files and the warning can be ignored.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 and Service Pack 5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
