The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 ConfigMgr Status Message Viewer is the primary tool for viewing status messages stored in a Configuration Manager 2007 site database. ConfigMgr Status Message Viewer is similar to the Windows Event Viewer, but it has additional capabilities that allow you to perform the following actions:

• Export and print status messages.
  
  
• Start multiple viewers to compare messages for troubleshooting.
  
  
• Select multiple rows of messages to create your own grouping.
  
  
• Copy messages to the Windows clipboard (with tab-delimited columns) to support pasting to applications such as Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Word.
  
  
• Delete status messages (if you have permission to do so).
  
  
• Find, filter, or sort on each column.
  
  
• Specify which columns are displayed and in which order.
  
  
• Select ConfigMgr Status Message Viewer's font.
  
  
• Select additional startup and refresh options. (Options are automatically saved when you exit ConfigMgr Status Message Viewer.)
