Increase Application Event Log File Size

T

Hi,

Running Windows Server 2012 R2.

I'm trying to increase the Application Event Log size from the default of 32768 KB to 2097152 KB. When I use the Event Viewer GUI, I get the message:

... maximum log size specified is not valid. It is too large or too small ...

So I've tried using the command prompt:

wevtutil set-log Application /MS:2147483648

And via powershell:

limit-eventlog -logname Application -maximumsize 2097152Kb

Both to no effect as it reverts back to 32768 KB. My limited Google skills hasn't turned up anything so far.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
