Is there any way that I can automatically
archive and then clear the event logson
multiple servers? I have been able to
automatically export the event logs to a text file
but have not been able to find anything that
would actually clear the event logs after the
export. Any help would be aprreciated.

How about this instead:

Since you are already exporting the information in the event viewer, perhaps you don't have to clear it, just override the information as needed. This can be done by right clicking on the application, system, etc. log in the event viewed and changing the radio button to "override"

You might get duplicate information at times but it will be automated.

I really need to be able to export then do a clear of the
event logs due to some restrictions being placed on me
from our corporate folks.
