Thanks for the replies. I've decided to go with maintaining 7 days worth of
logs courtesy of a PS script to rotate them nightly. I've tested the following
and seems to work:
get-childitem -Path C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles -recurse | where-object
{$_.lastwritetime -lt (get-date).addDays(-7)} | Foreach-Object { del
$_.FullName }

Subject: [mssms] RE: Cleaning up IIS logs
They're very handy to have for troubleshooting, I recommend implementing a
script (powershell is easiest imho) to clean them up after x days vs disabling
them.

Subject: [mssms] Cleaning up IIS logs
My site server is filling up with IIS logs and I've come across an article
stating there are two options for dealing with this: implement a script which
maintains 7 days worth of IIS logs and deletes the rest, or, simply disable IIS
logging. Just wanted to run these options by everyone to see what others are
doing. Personally I've never accessed the IIS logs so I'm inclined to just
disable logging (unless there's an important reason not to).
Daniel.
