Event log issues

Windows 2000 server, latest SP. The event logs don't appear to be
updating. Using a third party tool, I can view all logs except system.
However, if I use the MS Event Viewer, I can see no events in any log.
The Application and Directory logs are the only logs that appear to be
actually updating.
I'm concerned about not seeing anything recent in the logs.


TIA

Depending on how you have auditing configured the logging can stop if the
log is full. Try to delete the current logs [saving first if you need to],
increase the size of the audit logs for each category, and/or configure to
overwrite events as need be. The options to increase log size and "when
maximum log size is reached" are found in the properties of each log type.
If problems persist you could have a problem with corrupt logs and the links
below describe possible remedies. --- Steve
