Event log full, cannot log on

[jtylertt]

You can cause event viewer to overwrite events as needed so that they won't fill up and prevent you from logging in.

To apply this policy on a global domain scale:

-open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in
-open your domain's Properties dialog box, and go to the Group Policy tab
-Select the Default Domain Policy GPO, and click Edit
-In the resulting window's left pane, go to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Event Log, Settings for Event Log

Couldn't you just use a MMC with Event Log snap in to clear the log?

If its not set to Overwrite as needed then perhaps the logs need to be captured?

I've not even finished all the ways to shave a cat never mind start on the different ways to skin the thing!
