Is there any way to erase the event logs using the WSH or WMI that comes
with NT2000?

Thanks,

Not sure whether MS has implemented that stuff in WMI (WSH doesn't
provide such a feature). The alternative is to write an ActiveX control that
access the log records.

Yes it is:

Here is a sample to backup and eras the event log

set LogFileSet =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Backup)}").ExecQuery _
("select * from Win32_NTEventLogFile where LogfileName='Application'")

For each Logfile in LogFileSet
 RetVal = LogFile.BackupEventlog("c:\BACKUP.LOG")
 if RetVal = 0 then WScript.Echo "Log Backed Up"
 RetVal = LogFile.ClearEventlog()
 if RetVal = 0 then WScript.Echo "Log Cleared"
Next

Steven:

That worked great! One more question...is there any way to modify the scrip
below to do the same thing to another computer on the network?
