Event Viewer Exporting

[Guest]

Greetings,
Forgive me if this has been answered before but I could not find the answer anywhere else on the boards.
Can I export the contents of the Event Viewer to my local(or any other machine for that matter), retaining the .evt suffix? I pull security logs daily for over 100 servers and if i could do this, it would make my life much more enjoyable 8). The .evt extension needs to remain since the Security group actually goes into questionable events and views the details.

Thank you in advance,
Mike...

Re: Event Viewer Exporting

You should be able to use the command-line DumpEvt program from http://www.systemtools.com/free_frame.htm for this.

Just create a batch file with the commands the way you need them, and then either run the batch file when you need the data, or schedule it using the Windows Scheduler.
