eemsvr.exe /importevt=dns_events.evt /logname="dns server"

•Read permissions to the registry on the computer

•Read permissions to the file system on the computer

•Remote Registry Service running on the computer

Either file or logname must match the event log name as displayed in Windows Event Viewer. If file or logname is not specified correctly, then some of the events messages may be incomplete.

At least 1 Event View must have a Date Range that encompasses all the desired historical events. Date Range is in the properties of an Event View.
