Hi we are having issue with users logs filling up. Is there a way to have log rotate either locally or on the domain policy?

Or does anyknow where i can limit what is being logged on the default domain policy?

Thank you?
 
On the domain policy you want to change the auditing stuff in the security part.

To change the logs to overwrite all they want locally (you can do this through a policy as well) go to:
Right click My Computer->Manage
Expand the tree for event logs
Right click the logs, go to properties, change the thing to overwrite logs as needed or choose what you want them to do.
 
Is it the same, Information, Warning or Error line that is being repeated in the Event Viewer, is it all machines or just one machine?

This is a good site for solving Event Viewer problems.
