Export log with description

[AlanCh]

I'd like to export the system log from a w2k3 server with the description field, however right now, when I right click on System, Export List, I can create a comma delimited file with everything else but the description field.

Any ideas?

Might be a cheaper option but i always use crystal reports to extract data from event logs. It has a built in connector for just that. Then you can filter and sort and group as you wish. Really works great.

Unfortunately I'm not so experienced with Crystal Reports. I pretty much want to just to export the log to a comma delimited file so that I can write a vbs file to parse the data.

Almost forgot about this little guy, i used this before i started using crystal reports. Small learning curve on the syntax, but not to hard to figure out.
