Somewhere along the line our server stpooed logging all
events. The service is running however nothing is actually
being logged for application or system logging.

The server is a windows 2000 Advance version patched to
SP4.

Any ideas or experience with this situation appreciated.
 
1. Set your event log size down, to a maximum size of 200MB combined for all
logs (not 200MB each).
2. Clear each of your logs.
3. Restart.

See if that helps.

Thanks,

Eric

this can work but we need a much larger size for our logs,
esp. security logs, or else we'll either have to clear
them out several times a day or shut down. Do you have
any insight why one can't go beyond 200 MB (ref. article
312571 but I can't find anything about why this still
happens with SP's applied). Thanks
