WHICH alerts are you actually EXCLUDING and WHY?

Saw this comment on the blog

http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/01/16/managing-event-alerts-in-your-reports-an-sbs-monitoring-feature-enhancement.aspx

"OK, now the 64k question.... WHICH alerts are you actually EXCLUDING and WHY?"

And I was thinkin' that this person may not be running SBS 2011 currently to know why these alerts are annoying.

As was posted in the comments on the blog, all of these alerts are referred to in KB2483007:

Windows SBS 2011 Standard Known Post Installation Event Log Errors and Warnings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2483007/en-us?sd=rss&spid=1167

This lists all the stuff that you are supposed to ignore, but can't because they end up in your error reports and daily emails and look pretty nasty to show to clients.

If you have a SBS 2011 -- are there other alerts you've seen that are not flagged by that default set?  What are they?  Post 'em up!

I get this one once in a while... I've disabled it before as suggested somewhere and it just came back.

All I'm left with besides the default are

PowerShell 32784 and WinRM 138

I'm not sure these are "benign" but I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

PS Susan, your captcha doesn't work in Chrome (broken image symbol!)

What are the exact error messages?

As to the captcha Chrome keeps breaking it.  I don't know how to fix it on the blog and it works in IE, Firefox, Safari and others.

I apologize but unless you know how to fix it, I don't know how to fix it.

i think it depends on which hard- and software sbs2011 runs.

we have a HP110G6 with SBS2011 Standard with the known errors. After installing WebDAV i also got WinRM 138 error.

The other machine is a HP ML350G6 with the following errors excluded:

5586

5767

There are many other errors which comes and goes. My best practice is wait a few days and when the error still occurs take some actions
