Hello,

I've been able to successfully dump my Application, Security and System logs using the Resource Kit utility dumpel.exe.
e.g.
dumpel -s \\ServerA -l system -f d:\EvntArchives\ServerAsys.out -t

However, I have not been able to dump other logs such as Directory Service, DNS Server or File Replication Service.

Is it possible to dump these logs using dumpel.exe?

If so, what is the syntax for calling those specific logs?

If it's not possible to use dumpel.exe, are there alternatives (preferably free of course)?

Thanks,

DS

I use a tool called the Event Log Viewer to handle this type of stuff.
www.engagent.com
you can build custom queries off of any Event Viewer Log.
It will also export all logs (either using a custom built filter, a predefined filter, or no filter) to CSV files.
I like it.

hope this helps

PS: you can use it remotely to check the logs on 2 different Windows machines for FREE. If you wan to check more machines then that, you have to buy a licence.
