When I'm viewing the job history of a particular SQL Agent Job, I typically want to see whether it succeeded, its duration and maybe the duration of the individual steps of the job.

When I open the history in the Log File Viewer, I always need to scroll over and shrink the 'Message' column and drag the 'Duration' column over next to the 'Step Name' column.

Is there a way to configure the layout of the Log File Viewer (e.g. reposition columns, resize columns) and save it for future sessions?

Thanks!

Sadly, no. The log and activity viewers have no persistable configuration options in SQL Server Management Studio. You'd need to find a 3rd party viewer or build a custom one.
