Batch Script to Email Event Log Warnings / Alerts

I want to create a batch script that will email me (via our exchange smtp) when a warning or error is logged in event viewer.

I found this post https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21399340/Send-Alert-when-Event-is-Logged-in-Windows-Server-2000.html ; which has this script.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

dumpel -s \\servername -l system -d 1 -m Eventlog -e 6008|find "6008">alert.log
if not errorlevel 1 smtpsend -falert@mydomain.com -tops@mydomain.com -sAlert on Servername -aalert.log
____________________________________________________________________________________________

is there a way i can modify this script to do what i want?

Thanks
Phil

You could schedule this task to run daily:

@echo off

if exist "ALERT.LOG" del "ALERT.LOG" >NUL

REM ** Change server as needed
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dumpel -s \\server -l system -d 1') do call :PROCESS "%%a"

REM ** Change email info as needed
if exist "ALERT.LOG" smtpsend -falert@mydomain.com -tops@mydomain.com -sAlert on Servername -aalert.log

goto :EOF

:PROCESS

for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('echo %~1') do if /i "%%a" LEQ 2 call :DUMPIT %1

goto :EOF

:DUMPIT

echo %~1>>ALERT.LOG

Good Luck,
Steve

The Microsoft Exchange Resource Kit contains a program, SENDMAIL.EXE, which is a 32-bit command line utility to send mail messages and file attachments. This program is also available in the Microsoft Mail Resource Kit.
