I have an xp machine .. the security log gets full hence users are not able to log in anymore untill you delete the logs.which is abit cumbersome

I think there is an option to overwrite events as needed. On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Jacinta Gugu <jess.gugu@gmail.com> wrote:

Jacinta - you need to look at the logs and not just worry that it's getting full. such unusual activity could indicate the existence of some unwanted entities on your network/computer.. On 1 November 2010 10:14, Jacinta Gugu <jess.gugu@gmail.com> wrote:

Jacinta, You could increase the log file size, like double it or triple it as you read through the logs to establish what may be wrong and resolve. Deleting will not solve the problem as you are not establishing the root cause. James On 11/1/2010 9:57 AM, Jacinta Gugu wrote:
