Hello,

I am a Domain Admin on my network.
I'm noticing I get an Access Denied when trying to view log files under
event viewer on all Domain Controllers.
The Security log is the only one I can view.
Other servers are not an issue.

Is there a setting that was changed on me?

thanks!
Sean

One thing to check is that your user account is not a member of the guests
group in Active Directory Users and Computers. --- Steve

Thanks for the reply.
I did check that and a few other groups.
Still can't figure it out.

Any other ideas?

thanks!

Maybe it is a problem with registry key permissions or the permissions for
the .evt files for those logs. Check to see that you are in a group that has
permissions to them. The link below will show what registry keys to check
and compare the permissions to what is shown for the security log that you
can access. If you are trying to access the logs remotely try logging on
locally to a domain controller to see if that makes a difference.--- Steve
