You would probably want to register for a WMI event. I’m moving this to our WMI forum and you can pursue it further there; this isn’t really an Exchange question.

Sorry you’re right.

I’ll explain my need:
Every time I change access to a mailbox on exchange 2010 I find an event in the following location:
Event Viewer -> Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> MSExchange Management.

I wish that every time I enter a specific event to me to notify you, or schedule a day and check for a specific event configure the sending of an email.

Scheduling would be easier. You could write a PowerShell script that checks for new instances of the event ID by using Get-WinEvent, and then uses Send-MailMessage to send an e-mail.

Using a WMI event would require PowerShell to remain running all the time, which probably isn’t optimal.

Look into Get-WinEvent and Send-MailMessage.

Potentially you could create a permanent WMI event but in this case I think watching the logs is going to be your best bet

I think you can simply right click on the event and attach a task using the Create Basic Task Wizard to send an email every time the event occurs.

Sending an email from an attached is deprecated in later versions of Windows. Testing the event log on a scheduled task is probably best route
