All the Application event logs are unexpectedly deleted when you clear the MSDSS logs in Windows 2000 or in Windows Server 2003 (906516)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
SYMPTOMSWhen you clear the Microsoft Directory
Synchronization Services (MSDSS) logs in Microsoft Windows 2000 or in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, all the Application event logs are
unexpectedly deleted. Therefore, potentially critical Application
event information is lost. CAUSEThis problem occurs because the MSDSS event log is a
filtered view of the Application event log. This filtered view displays only MSDSS events.
When you clear the log, you delete all Application events, not just those that are displayed in
the current filter.STATUS This
behavior is by design.MORE INFORMATIONMSDSS is
included with services for Novell NetWare 5.0. MSDSS synchronizes the Active Directory
directory service with Novel Directory Services (NDS) and with NetWare 3.0 and later
versions of NetWare.
