Yes, just get a syslog server (service) for NT. There's several free ones available on the net.

In client-server architecture there is no difference who is client and
who is the server, as long as they restrict itself to protocol
specifications.. ;)

So, there is no difference, which platform resides syslogd or
similar program... I believe, that NT has at least several
such programs with syslogd functionality. Choose and use.. ;)

Cisco Resource Manager has a good syslog applet incorporated into the
software package. However it only keeps log files for 7 days :-(.

Yes, if it's running a syslog daemon. Syslog daemons are availalbe for
win95 so I'd say they're available for NT as well.

We intended this tool to be used for troubleshooting. Our internal experience
with managing our own network indicates that more than 7 days of syslog
data is not meaningful anymore for troubleshooting that's how we
choose 7 days as a max (and to avoid perf problems with large
amounts of data in the DB tables). What is it you'd like to
do with the messages that you need them for more than 7 days?

Yes, but you'll need a syslog program on the NT server.

<Jumping In here>...

We have an requirement to keep our firewall logs for quite some time (Min. 6
Months). We don't keep the firewall logs to find hackers (Your right, after 7
days, chances are you won't read them). But, we need to keep the logs to track
employee "surfing"....A couple of times we have been asked to provide logs on an
employees access back x number of days (usually something like 90 days)....Our
current plan is to daily export the PIX firewall logs to a SQL Server (For
greater speed with searching)....
