Where can information about a problematic service be found in the Event Viewer on a Windows server?

When diagnosing issues related to services on a Windows server, the most relevant information is typically found in the System log within the Event Viewer. The System log provides critical details about system events, including those generated by services and drivers. Events related to service startup, shutdown, and operational failures are logged in this section, making it an essential resource for troubleshooting service-related problems.

The Application log typically contains events logged by applications or programs running on the system and might not specifically address service issues unless those applications are tightly coupled with services. The Application and Services Logs offer a more specialized view for particular applications and services but wouldn't necessarily cover all service-related events in the breadth provided by the System log. There is no standard "Service Log" in the Event Viewer, making that option non-applicable. Thus, using the System log is the most direct and effective way to find information on problematic services.
