Hi,

I think you can use this link as a reference to configure SNMP and Syslog

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/403d0990-6477-4a3f-a76a-37e4deef4b57/

The two are a sequence.
Install snmp on the windos box, use evntwin to configure the eventlog to snmp that you want and export the configuration. The GPO you would then use evntcmd within a startup script to configure each system with the event translations.
Now, the server where snmptrapd (the receiver for the snmp events will need to be configured to record the received event into syslog on a specific facility in the event you would then configure syslog.conf to direct the received snmp events will be directed into its own file or passed to a program that will parse the vent and record it in a database or generate email or page, etc. notification to alert of a failure.
