Just wondering if anyone here is using some solution for central  
monitoring of Event Logs on Windows workstations, in order to catch  
common errors etc? What is the “Novell way” of doing this?

Novell/NetIQ Sentinel can pick up security events from windows  
workstations, though usually it is used for focusing on more-important  
systems like DCs or member servers, not to mention products like  
eDirectory, IDM, databases, firewalls, routers, etc.

–  
Good luck.

Check out Solarwinds Log & Event Manager as well. They have a version  
specifically for workstation logging.
