Windows 10: Event 4321 - what is it?

"The name "WORKGROUP :1d" could not be registered on the interface with IP address 192.168.0.5. The computer with the IP address 192.168.0.1 did not allow the name to be claimed by this computer."

just got this after another of my random power offs, tried a search, nothing obvious came up.

Export All Administrative Events to Excel

To analyze events, from the Windows Event Viewer, there is a simple way to export all Administrative Events to Excel, with PowerShell.

Exporting all Administrative Events to Excel is a simple two Step process, as described here:

Step 1 - Create the Administrative Events View .xml file

1. Open Eventviewer (%windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc)
2. Navigate to: Event Viewer (Local) > Custom Views > Administrative Events
3. In the “Actions” pane select “Filter Current Custom View”.
4. Select the the XML tab.
5. Press Ctrl+A to select all the XML code of the Custom View.
6. Open a notepad, paste the selected code and save the file to your Desktop as AdmEvtView.xml

Step 2 - Create the csv file with the events

1. Download the ExportEvtCSV.zip file, which contains the script ExportEvtCSV.ps1 and unzip it, on your Desktop.
   It's not a fancy script, just basic PowerShell commands to create a csv file on the Desktop.
2. In Windows Search, type “ISE” (without the quotes) to open “Windows PowerShell ISE” and Run as administrator
   
3. To allow running the script, change the ExecutionPolicy, for this session. To do that, in the Console pane type:
   Code:
4. In the Windows PowerShell ISE, open and run the script: ExportEvtCSV.ps1
   The script will create a csv file with a name YYYYMMDD.HHMM.csv on the Desktop
5. When done, open the newly created .csv file, format the columns as needed and optionally save it as .xlsx, if you wish.

That’s it! You now have all the Administrative Events in Excel for filtering and further analysis.

Now to the more technical hard stuff... *Confused

There is a reason for running the script from within PowerShell ISE!

It would be great if everything was also working perfectly, when running the script from an elevated PowerShell too.

We can run it from an elevated PowerShell, which means that you just follow the Step 1, as above but for the Step 2 instead of the ISE you run the script from an elevated PowerShell.

The problem is that it will work only for anybody who has en-US format for the dates. Everyone else, who has another format (i.e. en-GB, fr-FR, el-GR etc.), the dates are not translated properly by Excel (although the script uses the –UseCulture switch) and remain as text in the en-US format.

I'm not sure if this a bug of the "export-csv" cmdlet, but although it runs the way it supposed to from within the ISE, from PowerShell there is a problem with the dates format.
As I haven’t found a way to overcome this obstacle, any suggestion from the PowerShell gurus of the forum (like my good friend Shawn @Brink, for instance), is welcome.

 

Calender events disappeared

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

In order to assist you further with the issue could you please confirm a couple of things:

• How do you access Calendar? Is it through a Web Browser or an Email Client?
• Are you referring to the default Calendar app?
• Did you make any changes to your account before you encountered the issue?
  

Nevertheless, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check whether you're able to see the events in your Account:

• Go to Outlook – free personal email and calendar from Microsoft
• And check whether you're able to see all your Calendar events.

Please get back to us with the updated status of the issue so that we can work on it to help you better.

Please explain in detail what you mean by "I verified the binary numbers and verified visual C++".

Take a look at this article for a more detailed explanation, but it seems to be intended for either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (the Windows Logo key + S shortcut isn't in Windows 7):

https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/solved_the_application_has_failed_to_start_because_its_side_by_side_configuration_is_incorrect_error.html

I suggest skipping Step 1, which doesn't agree with what I see on my Windows 7 machine.

If I were you, I'd start with Step 3.

• Open Event Viewer by clicking Start, typing Event Viewer in the Search box, and pressing Enter.
• Unfortunately, there's no "Summary of Administrative Events" Custom view in the Windows 7 Event Viewer, so expand "Windows Logs" and select the "Applications" log (first screenshot below)
  
• Now go to the "Actions" pane on the right and select "Filter Current Log" (first screenshot below)
• In the dialog box that opens, use the drop-down list next to "Event Sources" to select "Side-by-Side" (second screenshot below)
• This should give you a list of all Side-by-Side events. Look for an event at about the time you got the error message.

Or you could try the "all-in-one" installer mentioned in Step 2 of the MajorGeeks article, but that's sort of a shotgun approach that may or may not work.
