Security Log Question & Hotfix?


Recommended Posts

Guest Daniel P. Cayea
Posted

I have this peculiar problem with my security log on my domain controller.

I've set up my security log to overwrite events as needed, but the size is

large enough that it will not overwrite events unless they are like two weeks

plus old. Problem is, every time I log onto my server I get the "Security

Log is full" message. I go into the event viewer and change the atributes of

the log, and it gets set back to "Do not overwrite".

 

I remember a while back there was a hotfix to fix this, can anyone remember

it or help me with this issue?

 

Thanks

Dan

Daniel,

Is this the one you were looking for? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312571

Or are the properties being set in Group Policy perhaps?

Hi Anthony

 

Thanks for the reply, but that wasn't the hotfix. I may have to open up a

new incident with Microsoft to fix it.

Hi Dan

 

Did you get any resolution to this? I'm having exactly the same

problem, on multiple Windows 2003 servers.

 

Thanks

No, no resolution as of yet, but I still need to contact Microsoft to get a

fix on it.

Re: Security Log Question & Hotfix?

 

Are you sure its not just a GPO writing the settings for the log?

What events is the log filling up with?

Anthony - you were right! I did a little more digging into the Group

Policies and found it.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, this has been making me

nuts for quite a while.
