SYMPTOMS
A customized view for Event Viewer in a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in may not be saved. When you add multiple Event Viewer snap-ins in one .msc file, only the settings for the last snap-in are saved. Snap-ins prior to the last one revert to their default settings.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

260910 How to Obtain the Latest Windows 2000 Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:   Date        Time    Version        Size     File name -  14/02/2001  03:57p  5.0.2195.3256  157,456  Els.dll



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.



MORE INFORMATION
Event Log filtering is also affected by this issue. The filter settings for a particular event log are saved only for the entry that appears last in MMC. For example, if you have a snap-in with the event logs for three computers, the settings for the computer that appear at the bottom of the list are the only ones that are saved. The filtered settings for the first two computers are not saved; these computers appear unfiltered when you restart the snap-in.

Also, if you create a new log view, the entire page does not appear for the first -1 computers (where   is the number of server entries saved in the snap-in) when you restart the saved MMC.
