event log replication

I noticed that after applying SP4, event logs are no longer being
replicated across the nodes. I saw article 224969 on how to manually
enable it, but was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if for
some stupid reason it is disabled after applying SP4.

No, I haven't seen it stop replicating after applying SP4
but I wish I had. Cluster event log replication is a
silly thing anyway, better install Sentry, ECM or some
other proper enterprise event log management system. I
disable event log replication manually on all clusters
with this command:

cluster /prop EnableEventLogReplication=0
 
I am experiencing exactly the same thing after installing SP4 on a
Windows 2000 cluster.

I have noticed that Event Log Replication occurs during the Cluster
Service start up but then stops. I get the EventID 1122, "The node
(re)established communication with cluster node '<node name>' on
network '<network name>'." events replicated to the clustered nodes,
but the final cluster startup event, EventID 1062, "Microsoft
Clustering Service successfully joined the cluster." does not get
replicated to the other nodes. In looking through cluster.log on the
node where the cluster service is starting I noticed the following
difference:

NOTE the difference in the line before [INIT] Cluster started. I have
not been able to determine what the failure actually is.
