I've used this Serverfault Article in order to add additional event logs for some webservices to the local group policy on my interfaces server. For 2 objects i added, i had a mistype and it created 2 logs (check the image) which are unusable and i would like to delete them as it is a production server. Is that possible? enter image description here

Thanks Itai

If you have access to PowerShell 2.0, you can use the Remove-EventLog cmdlet to delete the 2 logs you don't want any more. 

Remove-EventLog -LogName incorrectlogname -ComputerName servername

  • I have access to powershell 2.0 on my computer but the server which holds the log i want to remove doesn't have powershell at all, will it still be possible to do it? – Itai Ganot Mar 01 '12 at 14:23
  • You can run from your local computer and it should remove the logs on the server no problem. – Christopher Mar 01 '12 at 16:09
  • Where do i get the log name? is that the same as the policy name? I tried it with the policy name and with the name from the sceregvl.inf file but it keeps saying it's unable to find a log with that name on the server. by the way, the log i want to remove is a duplicate which i created with the wrong path to the registry, if for example we're talking about the first red circle i marked there, if you look 1 line above you'll see it's the same log, one is operating correctly (and i need him) and the one circled is a corrupt duplicate which i'd like to remove – Itai Ganot Mar 01 '12 at 16:33
