Matthew: Did you ever get your log retention policy developed? I'm sort of in the same position and I'm hoping you will be able to share what you learned and/or developed.

From what I remember of this portion of the lecture (the slides and my notes are lacking in details) he stressed that this policy would help significantly in the case of litigation, but it obviously would also give a solid policy for defining expectations and maintaining consistency between servers. A year later (*cough, cough*) I've started to compile ideas for this policy, but am having a bit of trouble finding good guidelines to follow. I was wondering if others currently had a clearly defined log retention policy for their organization and, if so, how they went about creating it? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
