Although, it didn't address my issue, the link provided was a good resource.

Browse All TopicsI am trying to get some data out of eventlogs using logparser, however, the "Message" field which is returned contains an error code instead of complete description.
For example
"The USB Mass Storage Driver service failed to start due to the following error: %%1058"
If I look at the same event using EventViewer, the complete description is:
"The USB Mass Storage Driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. "
"%%1058" = "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."
How do I get that information using logparser?
