Hi, thanks for your quick response. I have looked at this link but Event Viewer is not listed on my server (Windows Server 2003 Std SP2). Is this something I can / need to add? Forgive my ignorance but I have never really played with GPO.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to be able to change the Event Viewer settings for the Log Size and Overwrite Method on all PC's in a domain. For example all clients to have a log file size of 5,120 KB and Overwrite Events As Needed.<br />
<br />
Rather than do this manually, can I do this using Group Policy?

Can I change event viewer logging settings using group policy?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
