I have a 2000 sserver that the events stopped logging.
they were working fine then.... I went to admin tools>
local security policy>local policies and applied logging
events but still no logging. How can I get the logs
working again? what can I check??
 
Try increasing the size of log substantially and make sure that the properties of the
security log is not set to "clear log manually" when log is full. --- Steve
 
Is the Eventlogservice running? It might also be possible that the eventlogs
got corrupted. Have a look at article 172156 for that.

Also make sure that if you are increasing the event log size via policy then
clear the logs after increasing otherwise they will not get to the new max
size.
