We currently flush ours each week, but we run this script daily so each morning the .csv is overwriten (I used the -force syntax) which means you will get all of the latest errors. I'm pretty sure you can granulate down to which date you want to capture the logs from, from what i've read it would be easy enough to do. As for the SQL.....No idea (Yet) :P Thanks for support.

So does this go through ALL of the event logs on the system? I mean Domain Controllers have Event logs that no other systems have, does it grab those, or just the standard 3? Also, do you know if there is a way to only have it grab the last 24 hours or something like that? We don't flush our event logs, so i would just want to grab the most recent ones. Ideally i would be able to find a way to have it send them to a SQL server so i could analyze them, but i am probably getting ahead of myself. Keep up the great work. You now have one more published script than I do. :-) app This looks great. So does this go through ALL of the event logs on the system?
