How to: Archive more that six SQL Server Error Logs using SSMS / EM

The following post describes how you can configure your SQL Server to archive more than six Errorlog files using SSMS (2008, 2005) or Enterprise Manager GUI.

While I was aware of MS KB # 196909, that describes a way of increasing the number of SQL Server error logs, by way of Registry change, I was looking for something simpler via GUI.

I could finally found a way of doing this from MS-SQL GUI (SSMS or EM) as below:

For SQL 2008 and SQL 2005: via SQL Management Studio

Screen 2.

For SQL 2000: via Enterprise Manager

Well, that actually made my job lil simpler !
