We put the column in and we let it alert, but we have the alerts file set up so that a msgs alert never pages anybody... it just sends email.  We've commented a few things out but mostly we've looked into the things that were complained about and fixed or shut off the source of the complaint.  It's helped us clean up the boxes quite a bit -- there were services running that did not need to be.

We haven't been putting the Windows Server msgs column on our bb2 page, nor alerting on msgs, because of the number of events that seem to trigger warnings or errors.

Would anyone be willing to share with is your event log filter entries for BBWIN, to use as a starting point?

TIA
