Add Syslog Support to Windows Servers
Windows does not support syslog but with a free add-on this ability can be added to all servers. SyslogAgent runs as a service on Windows Servers and it can convert all logs including logs in event viewer and service log files like those IIS generates for FTP, WWW and SMTP to syslog format and sends it to a central syslog server.
SyslogAgent is under GNU license, so it is free:

Have you seen any troubles with version 3.3.4. My experience at the moment is that most all of the syslog agents are dying as I add them to the clients. At the moment I'm using Snare Micro Server to capture them. They die to the point I can't restart the service, it will die immediately.
When I had just a few running, they seemed to be fine.
Purdue University has an outstanding Eventlog to Syslog utility. It's lightweight and completely free. It also runs on Win2k3, Vista, 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
I use it to forward event logs from about 160 servers, and have had no issues whatsoever.
