Inconsistency Between Eventlog Settings in TD and Final Image

[Paul Nash]

Hi,

Within the target designer under the Event Log component, one can setup
eventlog settings such as Retention and MaxSize. However when I compare
these values against what I see under
"HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\eventlog\application" on an imaged
system these values are different.

In TD
Retention =0x00000000;
MaxSize=0x004d0000

On imaged system
Rentention=0x00093a80
MaxSize=0x00080000

Can anyone explain this difference? Is there somewhere else within the
target designer where these values can be set?

Regards,

Paul

Paul,

The values you see on imaged system are default. You may confirm that here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/eventlog_key.asp

Most likely, some component or FBA overwrites the values even if they already exist.

I'd suggest you to set the registry values manually (or via FBA Generic command that imports a .reg file with the values during a
very late FBA phase). Basically, you will need to set/re-write the values at a very late FBA phase.

Thanks for the info. I will do just that.
