Running pywin32 version 210. Python 2.5 I have some events that don't get formatted correctly, basically ones that contain messages from winerror and some events in the security logs.
System Log Error [273] ID:7000 Service Control Manager Type: ERROR Time: 10/11/2007 05:13:18 The Network Load Balancing service failed to start due to the following error: %%1058 The 1058 is an error message from the winerror.h header, which I can get with win32api.FormatMessage, but why doesn't SafeFormatMessage do this automatically? Security Log Audit Failure Message Object Open: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: C:\WINDOWS\DtcInstall.log Handle ID: - Operation ID: {0,72457} Process ID: 1208 Image File Name: Primary User Name: NETWORK SERVICE Primary Domain: NT AUTHORITY Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E4) Client User Name: - Client Domain: - Client Logon ID: - Accesses: %%1538 %%1541 %%4416 %%4417 %%4418 %%4419 %%4420 %%4423 %%4424 Privileges: - Restricted Sid Count: 0 Access Mask: 0x12019F The %% messages are not from winerror.h. I believe the security log has a messages dll of its own, but I have no idea how to get those messages. Again, why doesn't SafeFormatMessage do this automatically? Is there a way that I can do this with the win32api? The messages are formatted correctly with wmi, but wmi is painfully slow because the event logs are so large.
