AT is good, but you can also use a batch file and run the following
commands..

iisreset /STOP

del <path_to_log_file>.log

iisreset /START

del <batch_file_name>.bat

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?
