Server 2008 R2 - Use schtasks.exe
On Win 2008 R2, use the schtasks /create command, with the start condition ONEVENT to get the same functionality as provided by eventtriggers on earlier Windows versions.

Running schtasks /create /? will give you some idea of how to do this:

Creates a scheduled task "EventLog" to run wevtvwr.msc starting whenever event 101 is published in the System channel
SCHTASKS /Create /TN EventLog /TR wevtvwr.msc /SC ONEVENT /EC System /MO *[System/EventID=101]

Alternatively, you can use the 'Task Scheduler' GUI, and set the trigger to 'on an event', then tell it which event/event filter you want it to match.
