Maximum system log size  This security setting specifies the maximum size of the system event log, which has a maximum size of 4 GB.  Notes  Log file sizes must be a multiple of 64 KB. If you enter a value that is not a multiple of 64 KB, Event Viewer will set the log file size to a multiple of 64 KB. This setting does not appear in the Local Computer Policy object. Event Log size and log wrapping should be defined to match the business and security requirements you determined when designing your Enterprise Security Plan. Consider implementing these Event Log settings at the site, domain, or organizational unit level, to take advantage of Group Policy settings.
