Creating the collector

I chose a low volume Windows Server 2016 instance in AWS as the collector. Under event Viewer go to[1]

  • Subscriptions
  • Create Subscription
  • Here I used source initiated and selected domain\Domain Computers as the computer group

Though it is a good idea to use the collector initiated option for resiliance, I decided to use source initiated for "reasons". Next create a policy that will get applied to all computers in the domain.[2]

  • Under "Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Event Forwarding" add the server
server=yourserver.domain.tld
