The Device Manager is exactly
the same Device Manager that has always existed, except now it is neatly organized under
the Diagnostics snap-in for easy access. Lastly, a number of performance diagnostic
tools are available under the Reliability and Performance node. Reliability and performance
monitoring is covered in greater detail in Chapter 7.

1. Open Server Manager if you don??™t already have it open.
2. Expand the Diagnostics node.
3. Expand the Event Viewer node.
4. Right-click Custom Views.

7. Under Event Level, check both the Critical and Error checkboxes.
8. From the Event Logs drop-down list, expand the Windows Logs tree and
check the Security and System checkboxes (Figure 3-5). Make sure you don??™t
