I use this Windows 7 script when preparing a client operating system image with imagex.exe and a WIM file for deployment. I integrated it immediately after Sysprep.exe to clear the Windows event logs. Last year, while building a Windows 7 image, I forgot to clear the logs. Starting with clean logs makes later troubleshooting easier.
Requirements Open a command shell with elevated privileges on Windows 7. Create a cmd file using the script below. Option 1: Clear the listed event logs Code 474 lines Copy 1

Option 2: Use the shorter script Code 1 line Copy 1
Wevtutil el > logs.txt For /f "delims=;" %%i in (logs.txt) do wevtutil cl "%%i"
Special thanks to Garry who shared the short version of the recipe.

Wevtutil el > %temp%\eventlistmsft.txt

Thanks Garry! I was looking for that before. Yes that one is much easier than the script I created. Both steps will result in having empty eventlogs. I will add the script as solution 2 and keep the actions lean.
After emailing with Garry I tested script option 2 which works fine too. Both scripts can be used but option 1 allows you to create your custom script to tweak clearing if you want.
I've another idea how to do this in powershell.
Thanks to both of you. I used the link that Gary posted and it worked like a charm. I prep images for Dell Image Direct, for my company to use, and one of the things that has to be done when cleaning up the OS is clearing the Event Viewer log files. Before finding the script, I would do this manually and it would take 15 to 20 minutes. This script did it in about 10 seconds.
[Start] [Run] type
for /F "tokens=*" %a in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO ECHO wevtutil.exe cl "%a"
type up a bat/cmd file & name it killogs.cmd & use this line in it
for /F "tokens=*" %%a in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO ECHO wevtutil.exe cl "%%a"
