Hi all. My DC server's security log is set to "overwrite events as needed"
and max log file size is set to more than 4GB. However it seems the file size
of security log can only go up to 500+MB. I notice this because events that
were log previously over the past few days like 21st,20th&19th sept is not
there. The earliest event i have is 22nd sept. Hence i would like to know why
my security log seem to start overwriting events at 500+MB even though it is
set to "overwrite events as needed". Thks in advance.
