Access denied to event viewer? Scott McDonald 12-22-2005

Our domain controllers have been denying me access to event viewer when
logged in remotely through my local systems management console connected to
them or logged in remotely via remote desktop. My domain account is a domain
admin account and also a member of every admin account in the domain...I
should have all the permissions I need, yet I do not. When I'm logged into
the domain controllers as the domain admin it lets me in without a
problem...?

Thanks!

Scott

If I read your post correctly you can access security log remotely while
logged on as the built in administrator account for the domain but not as a
domain user that is a member of the domain admins group. Double check that
the domain admins group is a member of the administrators group in ADUC,
make sure that your user account is not a member of guests group, and verify
that administrators have the user right to manage auditing and security log
in Domain Controller Security Policy under local policies/user rights. ---

somehow I was a member of the guest group - not sure when or why that
happened, but removed that and it works now - thanks!
