Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to to redirect the event logs to be stored on a network location in Server Standard 2003 R2 32 bit. I have tried editing the registry keys but as soon as I click off they key they revert back to the default config folder. What permissions would I need on the Network folder? How do I get the registry key to stay? Thanks in Advance.

I think that storing windows event logs on network location in not supported. And I do think it would be a good idea, in case of network failure how would windows wirte events to event log? There are many program which will allow you to read event logs remotely, or you can use forwarded events which is built into WindowsWith kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog
