No, it did not give the error before timing out. I don't know if the event log is unusually large, but each of the three are allocated 16M in size and we are on 3Mbit connection (in direction from remote server to SAlive server). There are 72000 entries in the log I'm reviewing. I tried running eventvwr.msc and connected to the remote computer to open the log and it took about a minute, but it did load the entire log.
Do you know if the EventLog COM check leave the connection open while traversing? Is there possibly a different version of elog.ocx that I can use? (Mine is version 1.0.0.17) Any other suggestions?
