I know some of you are big hot-shot sysadmin types  so I thought maybe you'd have some input on this issue.
Okay, here's the deal. I'm on a hunt for software to help manage Windows 2000 event logs. I want to pull the event logs from the client computers on a network to a central database.
Restrictions:
- No SNMP
- No NetBIOS (if possible)
- Preferably no agents installed on client boxen
- Logs should be "pulled" to the database on command, not "pushed"
- Logs should never be overwritten
- Preferably use Oracle database, but at least be ODBC compliant
Cost is not a restriction.
I've found this software and some similar, but if anyone out there is using something / knows of something similar or better, I'd love to hear about it..

Microsoft Operations Manager
Does not use SNMP
Windows 2000 uses IP vs NetBIOS by default
Requires an agent on the participating computers
Events can trigger alarms
Logs are stored in the SQL database
SQL Server is OBDC compliant
Integrates into Active Directory
There are several other solutions, but they usually require a script or some agent on the server. A local text delimited file is created and must be imported into a remote database.

The Microsoft Operations Manager seems to be for deployment on servers for remote management and monitoring... I'm looking for something that could handle individual event logs from hundreds of client machines. Hmm... thanks for the tip, though...
