I am probably over thinking this but I have a server that seems to be logging other events fine but the security log has only one entry. If I clear the log, as if it were corrupted, one entry shows up and nothing more after. I went through the local policy and didn't seem to have any issues there. Any thoughts, let me know. Thanks in advance.
 
try recreating the evt file entirely. clearing the logs DOES NOT fix a corrupt event log. The entire evt must be recreated. I don't even think thats supportable y MS either believe it or not (I wrote the internal article that still exists on how to do exactly this).
