Like all SP administrator, I have this exact same issue.<br />
<br />
Our solution (not yet implemented) will be a Powershell Script that uses the SP Object Model.<br />
<br />
Here is a tutorial to get you get started - <a href="http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/karine/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=10" rel="ugc">http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/karine/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=10</a><br />
<br />
I'll try to provide a more specific code sample later today.

Great solution. &nbsp;I modified the script so that only one library would be changed. &nbsp;Tested it with Powershell 1.0 and it worked. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks!

By default, when turning on versioning in SharePoint, the number of versions is unlimited. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
This is obviously a problem in terms of long term management. &nbsp;How can the default number of versions be set or propagated?<br />
<br />
I have a SQL query that gives me which lists (url and guids) have versioning turned on but I'm looking for the stsadm, webservice or similar command to set the version limit property value.

Globally configure the default number of versions for SharePoint Document Libraries
