Re: Event Viewer Configuration Question??



In news:BB890EC1-B8B8-4770-8AB0-ACC191B8E95C@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Feddie <Feddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on
below:
I have been assigned a request to audit close to 50 servers (Windows
2000/2003) where management wants to find how Event Viewer is
configured on the servers. For instance, what is the "Maximum log
size" & "When maximum log size is reached" options are configured for
"Application" log.

Is there a way to automate this process? Any help in this regard
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Feddie

You can either use Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 or a 3rd party
utility. We have been using MOM 2005 with two of our customers. Nice tool.
Eases the ability to keep tabs on 30+ servers. But as for configuring the
event log sizes,etc, you can do that in a GPO.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
