Hi,

What is the largest Event log size the Windows 2003 server can accommodate?
I plan to raise the level of logging on our domain controllers and of course
I need to increase the Event log sizes, currently I have them set to 64meg.
I have plenty of disk space. What the largest anyone has created?

Thanks.
