Event Type: Error

NT
Event Category: Alert Engine
Event ID: 318
Date: 2/9/2006
Time: 9:34:06 AM
User: N/A

Description:
Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The parameter is incorrect).

I am getting the event logged once every minute or so. I have SQLServer
running as a local domain user.

I tried changing the service for SQL Agent to run as a network service
thinking it was just a permission problem. The agent runs, but the events
are still being logged.

The machine is running Windows 2003 x64 w/ SQL 2005 Standard x64 and more
info is as follows:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.086.1830.00
(srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.2.3790

I have saw some previous posts on this issue, but it is dealing with
replication, the event logged does not match the event posted on the other
posts with the same error message.

I am having this exact same issue. I have tried changing the account
that SQL Server Agent is running under and it did not make any
difference. We are running Windows Server 2003 Standard Ed. and SQL
Server 2005 Standard Ed.
