Remote event viewer access without being an admin? Paul 04-28-2008

Hi, I want to give a set of developers access to view a Window 2003's event
viewer logs remotely using an MMC snap-in without granting them
administrator access to the server? Does anyone know how/where I grant
those specific rights?

Thanks,
Paul

That's by default - except for the security log.

So what access can I grant to get by the default, and open access to the
logs?

Pardon? I mean, that's a "do nothing" kind of thing - standard users can
view app and sys logs.

Anyways, here's the KB article with SDL details:
