SYMPTOMS
When you use the relog command in a script, the script does not work correctly in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
- You use the relog command in a script to extract performance counters from performance counter logs and to copy the performance counters to a log file that you create.
- You set a size limit on the log file that you create.
The script does not work correctly when the size limit is reached.
