Issue
Envision: Very Few Windows Events Showing Up In Envision
Support, I am only getting a little bit of information in my event viewer from my Windows machines. For example, my laptop shows up as an enVision monitored device. However, when I look at the Message View and select my laptop and retrieve data for the current month, I only get back three events (One from Application, System and Security) dated October 23rd at 11
Cause
importlist.txt may contain non-windows servers, and if they are input into envision, winprocess.exe would drop without any error message(check via task manager), thus data collection from windows servers in same domain would stop. 
Resolution
When using ComputerList.exe, need to double check the output file importlist.txt, make sure it doesn't contain non-windows servers.
