Automate saving event log

[Peter CCH]

Is there any way to automate saving of event log with script?

When certain event occur (specific to an event ID), then a script will
be run to save the event log.

Eventtriggers.exe can be used to trigger an action when certain event
occur, but I don't know how to automate the saving of the event log.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Thanks.
OK, I got the script work and able to save the event log I want.

But I have problem during trying the eventtriggers.

I try to create an eventtriggers with this:

eventtriggers /create /TR "AOS Shutdown Event Log" /L Application /EID
108 /TK c:\BackupEventLog.vbs

But it seems like not working, when the event with Event ID 108 occur,
the BackupEventLog.vbs doesn't seem to be executed.

Any idea?

Thanks.

You may need to explicitly call the scripting engine. Try something like;

/TK cscript //b c:\BackupEventLog.vbs

Everything work fine in WindowsXP and Windows Server 2003 when I use
the eventtriggers.

But problems come when I use it at Windows Server 2000, it seems like
Windows Server 2000 didin't support it.

Any idea or alternative on that?

That's true. It does not exist in Windows 2000

A possible work-around
