Dump System log on Windows

If you wanna to dump windows event log, in readable format form debug youre fucking .NET application running on IIS you can do this:

Fist of all you need a special tool for this “dumpel.exe” (in pure Microsoft style) part of Windows Resource Kit 2000 (yeah only 9 year ago):
You can download from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927229
Then create a bat or vbs file with this command:

dumpel.exe -l Application -f "\\path-to\app_log\app_all.csv"
