    IIS keeps the log file open, so I don't know of a way to do it without
    stopping IIS. The easiest way to acccomplish this is to create an AT job
    that stops IIS, deletes the logs and then restarts IIS. The account that the
    AT service runs as probably has permissions to do this. To cause even more
    confusion for the admin, copy an old log and give it the same name as
    todays' log. Some log types don't show the date in the individual entries,
    but the admin may not notice either way.

    Are there any tools or techniques out there that allow
    you to clear the active IIS log without first stopping
    the web service?
