Vista/2008 - If the following registry values don’t exist or are not configured as specified, then this is a finding:
Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Subkey: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EventLog\Application
Value Name: MaxSize
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 32768
Subkey: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EventLog\Security
Value Name: MaxSize
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 81920
Subkey: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EventLog\Setup
Value Name: MaxSize

Value: 32768
Subkey: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EventLog\System
Value Name: MaxSize
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 32768
Documentable: Yes
Documentable Explanation: If the machine is configured to write an event log directly to an audit server, the "Maximum log size" for that log does not have to conform to the requirements above. This should be documented with the IAO.
Configure the following policy values as listed below:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Event Log Service ->
Application -> "Maximum Log Size (KB)" will be set to "Enabled:32768"
Security -> "Maximum Log Size (KB)" will be set to "Enabled:81920"
Setup -> "Maximum Log Size (KB)" will be set to "Enabled:32768"
System -> "Maximum Log Size (KB)" will be set to "Enabled:32768"
