Reading your comments it seems like you have had a bad time. I hope you moved over to linux or similar instead. Otherwise there's a lot of optimisation required in your AD with clean up of multiple areas required. Likely issues with network infrastructure as well.
Also, event forwarding isn’t the only way.
Also, encryption and authentication for log forwaring is bound to AD Kerberos credentials that frequently expire, leaving you without logs again.
Any old syslog client and server is far superior in all the aspects mentioned.
