SYMPTOMS
When an Event Processing Rule is configured to send an alert that contains the $Event URL$ property, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for the alert references the GUID of the alert and is not correctly formatted. Clicking the URL takes you to an error page that states &quot;The page cannot be displayed&quot; instead of to the Web console.

If you configure an e-mail response to the event that references the $Event URL$ property, you receive an error message that says that the event does not exist.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, do not use the $Event URL$ property when you configure alerts and e-mail responses.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
