Controlling event logs

Running windows 2k Advanced Server as PDC, I need to configure what gets logged into the event log. Everything I see points me to the "application control" snapin for the MMC. However, this particular snapin is not available/visible. Is it in a location different than the "normal" snapins? Since this box is a PDC, its running Active Directory. Could something in AD now control event logs? (Seems it controls everything else LOL). Assuming the plugin is not on my machine, where can I get it? Resource kit? I have looked. If it is on my machine, perhaps I just need to register the dll? If so, what DLL is it?

I think you are refering to filtering events.
This can be done directly through event viewer. Right click the log that concerns you, select view, filter, and then configure the filter as you wish.

This should solve your problem.

Sorry no, filtering them only filters the VIEW, I need to modify what actually is logged. (For instance, Informational Print logging.. when the server is the share for a network printer.)

This is going to sound retarded but Microsoft says that you use the same Windows NT 4.0 tools to configure NT 4.0 resouces, you can run User Mangler from a Windows 2000 server. I will send you a document where its showing this.
