AstaaLavista AstaaLavista Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2005-08-11 Posts: 111 Loc: Gujarat, India.	hi, Is it possible to take backup of Event Viewer options like Application, Security. I want to automate this process using a script, so that at regular events, log is backed-up & event viewer is emptied.

I was just wondering if there is any feature provide in Windows Server 2003 to Archive any file (from command line) as well. I dont want to use Winzip command line for archiving the files. Thank you.

Another option would be to use an utility such as Event log to Syslog Get it here and then use this syslog Kiwi. It will automatically Zip all the files on whatever kind of schedule you want. _________________________ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Since i have called many functions in my script, i suppose i cant make my script suitable for UDF, because there is no single function which does everything. So, after that, is my script still eligible for being posted as a UDF? I could not find a function that returns the user profile directory: "c:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\My Documents". i dont think there is a macro for the above.

You can also pull the location for things like "My Documents" directly from the registry, which is more reliable than guessing.
