I am getting the following error after I add a Windows API Event Log.

Logon failure: The specified username is invalid(2202) (code: PE029)

Is their anyway to test this out on the PRTG or target Windows server side?

I actually found a solution while I was waiting for this post to be approved. For the Windows credentials at the Device level. I had the server name listed in the "Domain or Computer Name" field. Once I changed this to the Active Directory suffix, my sensor went into the Up state.
