I was running into the issue that my alert description was in my native language Dutch. Nice feature to have but I prefer the alert description to be in English.
I Took the following steps to resolve the issue
- Go to the server that is generated the Alert or Warning
- Open the Registry Editor. "Windows-Key + R" and type "regedit"
- Browse to the following Registry Key: "[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International]
- Right Click the String Value "Locale" and click "Modify"
- Change the "Value Data" to "00000409"
- Browse to the following Registry key: "[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Control Panel\International]
- Repeat step "4" and step "5"
- Browse to the following Registry key: "[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Control Panel\International]
- Repeat step "4" and step "5"
When the server Generates an Alert the Alert Description should be in English
Hi!
Where exactly did you changed those values? After changing it on all MS it did not work as expected.
Thanks,
Patrick
Maybe that is the answer: “When the server Generates an Alert…” ? 🙂
So must that be changed on each and every agent monitored system? Pfuuuu… not sure about the whole impact of that.
Hi Patrick,
Thank’s for the comment. I did change registry value on the servers that I was monitoring.
You could create a group Policy to deploy the registry values to the server you want to manage
