Joe,
I have copied your script and changed the values for these:

DIM strComputer, objDir2
strComputer = “Server1″
objDir2 = “\\Server2\BACKUP\Eventlogs\” & strComputer
clearEVTLogs = “No”

That is about all. I then ran a test from the CLI: c:\cscript logArchive.vbs

I get the backup logs in c:\EVT\ but nothing in \\Server2\BACKUP\Eventlogs\Server1

It did create the folder Server1 on the remote file server but nothing else. I can show you my script that I copied if it will help.

That’s interesting Rich. I have not been able to get it to fail the same way. Help me follow along, what exactly have you done?

I know this is an old post but I am having an issue with the calling of copyall. I get the backed up events in c:\EVT but they do not get copied over to my File Server. I am not getting any errors when running either.

Hi Joe
Ok i guess i found the solution & comments:

1 Script doesnt work in XP – i was testing it here and doesnt work
2 Script works only in W2k & W2k3
3 The following chars needed to be added to the script:

Old
And UCase( strSourceFolder) UCase( strTargetFolder) Then

New
And UCase( strSourceFolder) UCase( strTargetFolder) Then

I did a search of your script which goes back to 2007 and compared it to this one and the ” are missing. Added these 2 and it works now

Thanks anyway
Its all working, the script is great

Manuel

Hi Joe
This looks like an excellent script but it complains in line 150, char 42. I am copied it straight from this webpage using IE7 and FF and tried various ways to copy but it fails. Line below

And UCase( strSourceFolder) UCase( strTargetFolder) Then

Would it be too much to ask for help? Is is possible to maybe have it zipped as a download? or email the script to me?

Sorry to ask but i cant figure out why it fails

You have an excellent site
thank you for your time
Manuel

Thank you very much for this information; it was precisely what I was trying to determine: where to start.
