Hi Steven,

I am afraid the hotfix didn't resolve the problem.

There are two W2000 Domain Controller Servers. The Event Logs can be
accessed by the Administrator without problem on one of the servers while the
other server reports accessed denied.

The problem started immediately on the second server when it was promoted to
a Domain Controller. I have since demoted it but the event log access problem
remains.

I am ready to shoot it out the window!!!

Regards,

Aaron
