Is there anything built into Windows 2003 that allows monitoring of Windows Event logs?

I want to get call a program when a specific windows event log event occurs. Is there a way to do this in Windows 2003. In Windows 2012 it is built in.

If I understand correctly, to get this functionality on Windows 2003 I need to install the Windows Support tools. Is that right?

Additionally, is this functionality available on Windows 2008 and Windows 2012?

I was able to find eventtriggers.exe on a system without Windows Support Tools installed.
To use the task manager as described, open the event viewer, right click on the Windows event log entry and select "Attach task to this event..."
