Alert Manager Event Interface

[lanwan]

Need help with troubleshooting Event Viewer ID.

Event ID: 257
Source: Alert Manager Event
Description:
Alert Manager Interface: Alert Manger Event Interface unable to send alert to \\.\pipe\AlertManager. Error returned = The system cannot find the file specified.

What file is it trying to find? I'm taking a educated guess that this file is specfied in the registry somewhere...

I have went to eventid.net and searched this error but I'm still having issues troubleshooting this event error.

I'm running NetShield for WinNT and Windows 2000 4.5 on the server.

Thanks,
Ryan

Error Message: "The system cannot find the file specified." - From a newsgroup post: "Enable Alert Manager (C:\ProgramFiles\commonFiles\NetworkAssociates \AlertManager\amgrcnfg.exe). You must turn Alerting on in the client, and there are two settings that are required to get it right. Go to the Virus Scan AlertingConfiguration panel, check the radio button for "Enable centralized alerting", click on Configure, and browse the the alert location.Also, check to see if you're running VirusScan Alert Manager under the SYSTEM account. SYSTEM can't write to network drives. It's a localmachine account with no network access. If you need to, rerun the install of McAfee, and make sure the Alert Manager service is installed during that process."

Do you have Alert Manager turned on on the Target server?
