Event Viewer One Click Clear

OK Zardoc.... You DID get mine smaller, BUT.......

Here is the even SMALLER version!

Code:

@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto theEnd
for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:theEnd

Batch files are fun!!!

Wow, thanks for that. You know I had this problem of course. In XP, its much easier to clear the event viewer than Vista and Windows 7 because in those two, you have to manually clear every log category than in Windows XP that lets you clear all logs on just 4 categories.

Maybe you guys can teach me with these command prompts hacks.

thanks for the share...

Thats very helpful tool!!!! nice job!!!

Many thanks. I didn't even know that we had this until LasyB mentioned same.

When testing, I like to get rid of the old events first and this is an excellent solution.
