Sometimes you don't want to fix things

Windows SBS 2011 Standard Known Post Installation Event Log Errors and Warnings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2483007

If you see errors in SharePoint - don't assume that running the farm wizard will fix it.  It won't.  In fact the farm wizard installs a new SharePoint-80 IIS web site and stops the default web site.  To fix, merely delete SharePoint-80 and restart the default web site.

If you see VSS errors - don't assume that removing the Sharepoint user accounts in the registry will fix it.  Oh it will shut it up, but then your SharePoint doesn't get an "app aware" backup.

If you seen WinWRM errors ignore them for now.

If you are seeing an issue where DNS resolution is iffy and you are in the UK or EU - check out this - http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/01/29/cannot-resolve-names-in-certain-top-level-domains-like-co-uk.aspx the issue still impact SBS 2011.  Use forwarders or make the edits as per that blog post.

It would still be nice if Microsoft can figure out a way to make these errors go away though.  Its a pain in the butt having to sift through the logs looking for a different error when troubleshooting another issue.

I agree.  It's like crying wolf, soon events will be overlooked and something critical could get missed.  Either they're worthy of being an "event error" or they shouldn't be picked up.
