Could anyone suggest to me a decent free syslog server?
I'm currently using Syslog Watcher Personal for recording syslog events from our firewall and it's pretty useless. It doesn't run as a service and doesn't have any filtering features. I'd prefer not to run a linux VM/box or anything of that sort so I'd like something that's compatible with Windows Server.
What do you guys suggest?

You could check into Kiwi (Kiwi Enterprises - Kiwi Syslog Server Overview), it's worked fine for what we've needed it for and it run's as a service. -

I noticed it has a name resolution feature (pretty sweet) but I can't seem to get it to work. Our internal address range is in the list and the DNS servers are correct.

Im not sure what you meant by compatible with windows and this setup does use linux so it may not be of much use to you.
Eventlog to Syslog Service (converts the windows eventlogs to syslog format)

syslog-ng (the syslog server)
php-syslogng (a gui interface for going through the logs)
