Clearing the ESM logs on a 6650 without installing an OS.

Question

I have about 25 PowerEdge 6650's and I need to be able to clear the esm logs without installing an OS. These are not, and never will be, production machines. I spoke with a Dell support person on the phone who said that log2txt.exe would do the trick and he said that he would email me the file. This was last week and I have still not received the file so I figured I would try here. Is it possible for someone to email me?

Thanks

Unfortunately, the Log2Txt.exe utility only worked on the 2300, 24XX, 25XX, 43xx, 63XX, 64xx series of PowerEdge Servers.

I do not know of a DOS based utility to clear the ESM logs for any of the newer systems.

I believe The ESM Log can be cleared on the PowerEdge 6650 using the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.
