There are some tools I think in the resource kit : dumpevt.exe CLEAREL.EXE (not in the resourcekit but I think this is freeware) to backup and clear the eventlogs. You can call these tools from a kix script. Mail me off list if you need them... Regards Aleks _____ Van: Spriggs Jon [mailto:Jon.Spriggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Verzonden: woensdag 11 mei 2005 15:11 Aan: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [THIN] Backing up and Clearing Event Logs Off hand, does anyone know of a tool or script that can be run as a scheduled task or service to backup to a designated folder or share and then clear specific windows event logs? For example, if I want to backup DC1's Application log to (\\DC1\D$) D:\Logs\Application\DC1-2005-05-10.evt and then clear it, does anyone have an example of a script that would do that? Or if I wanted to back up DC2's Security log to \\DC1\D$\Logs\Security\DC2-2005-05-10.evt but not clear it... etc. Thanks Jon Spriggs -- The presence of a "Fujitsu" address does not imply or assume that Fujitsu Services, Fujitsu or any other company containing the Fujitsu name uses or endorses this product.
