I'm currently getting some glitches with 2008 x64, but expect it to be ironed out shortly. However, while we do have Kiwi Syslog in action, I'm utilizing Splunk to be the aggregatore for Windows logs - so that others can get to a web page and do regular expression searches for what they want to see. That's handy when you have developers to support and don't want to give them access directly to the server logs. They can search just by the machine and some text, and get what they want. However, I hear some negative things about the latest version of Splunk and am staying on my older version for awhile. I’ve used these same combination of tools with success.
