Hi, This issue may occur if the AutoBackupLogFiles key was not created. Add registry keys AutoBackupLogFiles to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Security HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\DNS Server Value: AutoBackupLogFiles Type: DWORD Data value: Value not present or 0 (zero) equals "disabled." (This is the default.) Any non-zero value equals "enabled." Note You must restart the computer or clear the corresponding event log before the new behavior takes effect. You must configure the event log to have the Do not overwrite events (clear log manually) setting. Thanks. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
