If you're ok with using PowerShell, this one-liner will work:

gwmi win32_nteventlogfile -ComputerName <nameofcomputer>

you can use any number of ways to feed that a list of computer names

Does anyone have a script that will list all windows event log sizes against
a list of servers?

It does not need to detail anything more than server name logfile and event
log size.

Many thanks

You can do most things remotely so I do not think you need to install
Powershell on the remote machines.

Did i mention it was silly ?

It's also safe to assume that, for example, if i wanted to run the one-liner
provided by Darren on a few of my servers, those servers would need to have
Powershell installed as well ?

Only the machine that you run the script from has to have powershell
installed.

Does anyone have a script that will list all windows event log
sizes against
a list of servers?

It does not need to detail anything more than server name logfile
and event
log size.

Many thanks
