I need to retrieve the event logs from an XP embedded machine which doesn't have the Event Viewer, to an XP pro machine with the Event Viewer and then view the logs.

Whenever I move an event log it seems to become corrupted and I get the message "Unable to complete the operation on SysEvent.evt.

Every time I restart my server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) the following DCHP events appear with the ID 10020 in my event log.

Every time a windows box synchronizes its time to an NTP server, the NTP client logs two entries with event Id of 4616 into windows' event log and since I've setup my server to sync the time every 60 seconds, this is quite an un-necessary loud noisy behavior to me. It's been like two days now that I'm trying to turn this bugger off and I've tried the following with no success:
