Indexing historical EVTX event logs

Hi all,

Bit of a niche problem. We have a server that we need to perform analysis on it's Windows System logs, so we've exported the old logs during the time frame we're interested in. This server was not part of our monitoring regimen at the time.

We've attempted to import the evtx, converting to plain XML and import, monitor the directory that the extv exists in, all have failed to produce anything of any use.

We have all the relevant TAs and Apps that we can read live data from other Windows servers, but cannot progress on this individual problem.

Many thanks
SJF
