Hello,

When configuring a Job under the Database drop down it does not have an option for ALL DATABASES. How would I do this as the names of the databases are changing randomly and new ones are appearing every day. Thanks

You can use sp_Msforeachdb system store proc to loop through all databases.What are you trying to run?

I need to shrink the log to 1Meg

EXEC sp_msforeachdb "USE ? DBCC SHRINKFILE(1)"

Would that work?

You need to give log file name as well so use this:

Also did you figure out what is causing it to grow so huge?

Have no idea, its happening to all of our servers, and its not good. Every Forum and Microsoft article I have found says that Simple should not allow the log to grow, it should keep it cleared out. I am just trying to stop it now.

All of our databases do not have the same log file name, it will not allow us to share the same log file, how do I tell it to use the file assigned to the database?

Yes perfect, thank you, this will at least allow me to hold off the random growth.
