Hi Guy,

took me a while to find the Article again, here it is:

312571 The Event Log Stops Logging Events Before Reaching the Maximum Log
Size
http://support.microsoft.com/?ln=en&id=312571

It describes how you are able to configure a feature to automatically dump
the eventlog into a file if it reaches it's maximum length.

You do have to take care what to do with those dumps and delete them from
the machine, but this helps to keep the filespace used by dumps somewhat
dynamic but not to big.

I've included this in some of the backup jobs at customers to move the
dumpfiles away daily, so no worries if the events logged at a specific day
would be more than the memory allowed for the log, and no events are lost. 

HTH

Gruesse - Sincerely,
 
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
