Windows Event Viewer
Event Viewer is a component of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system that lets administrators and users view the event logs on a local or remote machine.
The Event Viewer uses event IDs to define the uniquely identifiable events that a Windows computer can encounter. For example, when a user's authentication fails, the system may generate Event ID 672.
Windows NT 4.0 added support for defining "event sources" (i.e. the application which created the event) and performing backups of logs.
Windows 2000 added the capability for applications to create their own log sources in addition to the three system-defined "System", "Application", and "Security" log files. Windows 2000 also replaced NT4's Event Viewer with a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
Windows Task Scheduler
Task Scheduler is a job scheduler in Microsoft Windows that launches computer programs or scripts at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals. Microsoft introduced this component in Microsoft.
The Task Scheduler service works by managing Tasks; Task refers to the action (or actions) taken in response to a trigger(s). A task is defined by associating a set of actions, which can include launching an application or taking some custom-defined action, to a set of triggers, which can either be time-based or event-based.
Windows Task Manager
ask Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows
