Unexpected error forces the termination of DumpEl

[fechen]

I am using Win2K resource kit dumpel.exe to dump the event log to a text file and do some analysis. In four of our Win NT servers, we got this error. It seems working fine on all other Win NT and 2K server.

In Windows eventviewer, we can view, save, and export all events. But dumpel.exe dumps the first two events, and then err out. The second event is a bit long, about 70 lines, though I believe dumpel.exe can sustain this length.

Any idea on this problem? Is this because of a corrupted event log, because of bugs in dumpel.exe? any workaround?

Thank a lot in advance

Have you tried running dumpel from the servers where it does work to get information for the servers where you had the error?
dumpel -s \\server1 -l application -d 7

for eg gets info for application log in past 7 days from server1. Can change this server name and in reality just write a simple batch file which can get log file details of all your servers from the one server.
