With windows server 2008 you can start a program using scheduled task triggered by event on event viewer.

Is there a way to emulate this with Windows Server 2003?

Thank you in advance

Yes, using event triggers (EVENTTRIGGERS.EXE on Win2k3), see here.

You could use Powershell to monitor the eventlog for certain events. Here's a script someone wrote for this very purpose.

You can use vbscript (WMI) to create an Event Notification Query and respond to specified events according to your needs... Something like this:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
    {impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Security)}!\\.\")

Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _     
("Select * from __instancecreationevent where TargetInstance isa 'Win32_NTLogEvent'") 
Do 
  Set objLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent 
  strTimeWritten = objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.TimeWritten
  strSource  = objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.SourceName
  strType  = objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.Type
' etc
loop
