Looking for sample BBWIN configs for filtering Windows event logs

Shawn, you can configure Terminal Services to turn off printer redirection.  It can be done in a group policy object (GPO) or it can be done to each server individually.

Here's our typical list:

    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="2" />
    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="3" />
    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="4" />
    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="8" />
    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="1106" />
    <ignore logfile="System" eventid="1111" />
    <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="3033" />
    <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="2003" />

ID 3033 is an Exchange message relating to Windows Mobile clients, but
because Exchange was the first server I converted to BBWin from Big
Brother, it's ended up on all of the systems.  ID 2003 is related to
performance counters.  It's probably possible to fix, but my focus
is not so much on the Windows infrastructure.

The rest are the annoying printer driver entries that you get when you
log into a machine via Remote Desktop and are forwarding printers but
don't have drivers on the system.  I tried for a long time to get
people to turn off printer forwarding, because I could never get Big
Brother to stop alarming, but nobody listened.  Hobbit/BBWin has been
a lifesaver in this respect.  With a little more work, we will be able
to soon include the NOC in all alarms.  With Big Brother, msgs
was a flood of crap and would have overwhelmed them.

I have a question that's really more suited for the BBWin mailing
list, but I've asked it there and gotten no response:  Does anyone
have a complete server-side configuration example for BBWin clients,
showing how to handle all aspects of the client configuration?

Thanks,
Shawn
