RE: Win2k log management

As long as you have administrative rights on the box, you can view the event viewer remotely. When you open the event viewer it has a folder which says "Event Viewer (local)" You can right click on this and choose "Connect to another computer..." which allows you to view/manage the event logs remotely.

As you only have 30 machines to manage, I would probably skip using the event viewer and build yourself a custom MMC console with one event viewer for each machine, so you can just open one thing up and see all of the machines at once.

I am currently administering over 10 server(advanced) and 20 workstation (pro), The management of event/security/application log has become unbeareable,so im looking for a centralized management solution were the informatin would be gather from server/workstation to a specific server, so the question is: Anyone aware of such a software that could do the job ? commercial or freeware, I basically just want to avoid having to walk over to check them manually.

also if anyone who has faced this situation is willing to share their knowledge on the subject...
