SYMPTOMS
========

If you use Event Viewer on a computer running Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 to
remotely view then save a remote computer's event logs to the remote computer's
drive, a warning event will be posted in the local client computer's system
event log as follows:

  Source: Rdr
  Category: None
  Type: Warning
  Event: 3031

  Computer: <LocalComputerName>

CAUSE
=====

Rdr.sys supplied with Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 introduces the Event ID
3031 warning. The warning does not interfere with the operation of Event Viewer
saving the files and the warning can be ignored.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 and
Service Pack 5. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
