John A. (Tony) Kenny John A. (Tony) Kenny Lurker Registered: 2002-08-30 Posts: 4	Can anyone tel me how to process a list of items ? I want to create a list and then process items in the list one at a time. I am trying to write a script to archive event logs on all of my servers. I would like to create a list with all of the server names and tehn do something like this: get $server BackupEventlog( "\\$server\Application" , "c:\evlogs\application.evt") BackupEventlog( "\\$server\System" , "c:\evlogs\system.evt") BackupEventlog( "\\$server\Security" , "c:\evlogs\security.evt") ClearEventlog( "Application" ) ClearEventlog( "Security" ) ClearEventlog( "System" ) Any ideas ? Also I would like to rename the archive event log using the server name and the date as part of the file name, and I haven't quite figured out how to do that either. I am really new to kixtart. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Or you could hard code them into your script using an array then use a "for each $server in $ServerArray" syntax. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

However, be aware that BACKUPEVENTLOG can only create a backup on the local disk. [ 03.
