    Event View Cleaner Will Not Work-Help!


    I downloaded this bat file in Option 1 of the below link off this forum.
    Clear All Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows

    and when I run it you can see as the screen scrolls down that it says that the log entry failed to clean.

    In this link it shows how to unblock a file from running.

    Well the bat file runs fine, it is just not cleaning out the logs in Event Viewer. After the bat file runs Event Viewer "Summary of Admin Events" all five categories are still full of events from the day the laptop was first turned on, nothing has been deleted.

    I even tried this Powershell option and this also did not delete anything.

    Any ideas why the bat file runs, but does not delete anything?

    Hello idahosurge, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    It looks like you may not have right clicked on the .bat file, and clicked on "Run as administrator" to run the .bat file with elevated rights.

    @Brink:
    Would it be possible to modify the .BAT file to give instructions when someone tries to run it by just clicking?

    Here is a .BAT file (I modified) that gives instructions when clicked but executes OK when run as admin:
    Code: @echo off FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G") echo. echo All Event Logs have been cleared! goto theEnd :do_clear echo clearing %1 wevtutil.exe cl %1 goto :eof :noAdmin echo Current user permissions to execute this .BAT file are inadequate. echo This .BAT file must be run with administrative privileges. echo Exit now, right click this .BAT file, and select Run as Administrator. pause >nul :theEnd[/quote]
    Here is the result when I just clicked on the above .BAT file:

    One can also create a shortcut to this .bat file and tick "run as admin" to ensure it will run without notice:
