I had the situation once, where i was asked to backup the event log on few server & clear it from server to save the space as well as retain log for audit. While, beating my head on the wall, i stumbled to few sites & i found scripts which actually worked for me to achieve my requirements. I have not written below listed VB script, neither confers any rights on it, use it on your own risk.
