An example syntax for dumping the security log:

dumpel -f file_to_dump.txt -s \\server -l security

You can schedule this task using Task Scheduler and pipe it out to the printer using a batch file.

i used dumpel to dump to a txt file but when i tried to schedule it to print using "print" command it only print the first few columns. Is there any way to make it print all the columns into 1 sheet?

for example:
SYS 5/16/ 2003 20:29:36 EventLog 6005 Information None comp
uter1 The Event log service was started.

i can only see "SYS 5/16/ 2003 20:29:36 EventLog 6005 Information None computer1" printed on my paper and the rest is not printed.
