Server Manager Refresh completed with one or more warning

The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights

The Problem:

Configuration refresh message. The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient rights, file corruption, or other reasons. For more information, see the Operation channel in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider error log on the target server.

Problem occurred on Server 2012 servers that have been upgraded to Server 2012R2 servers. Servers are also clustered.

The Solution:

Following the event logs leads to a few registry keys. You can eliminate the messages by:

1. Export the following registry keys (for safety)

2. Delete the following keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-IME-Roaming/Analytic
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-IME-SCDICCOMPILER/Analytic
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-IME-SCTIP/Analytic
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-SPB-HIDI2C/Analytic

  8. It is not exactly those keys. Generaly you have to check which logs are missing (e.g. by creating custom filter from all events - then you will see message which logs are missing) and then you have to find keys for those logs and remove it.

  9. It is not exactly like you write - generaly you have to check which logs is missing in Application and Services Logs (you can do this by creating custom view from all errors e.g. - then you will see message which logs are missing). When you will get this info - just remove those Keys from registry.
