Size of the Event Viewer logs

Mikhail Firsov 1,881

Hello,
I've already asked that question but since it hasn't yet been answered and I've run out of ideas please let me ask it again.

There's the Windows server 2012 R2 DC with the GPO defining the size of the event logs:

There's the Windows Server 2016 member server that has this gpo successfully applied:

But it does not help to change the size of Server's logs:

???

Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hello ElevenYu-MSFT,

Thank you for the reply!

A couple of days ago I added a new Windows Server 2019 box to the OU (the same policy is applied) and checked the logs size: the policy is applied (the values in the registry have changed accordingly) but the size of the logs remain the same so I think it's a bug.

Regards,
Michael

Correct setting address is:

Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Event Log Service
