Hi group,

I'm on a XP Pro machine in a Windows 2000 domain. I'm a domain admin, and
the domain admins group is in the local admin group on my machine. I am
unable to view the application or system event logs. "Unable to complete
the operation on 'application/system'ĥAccess is denied." Things that I have
done and or verified:

I just reinstalled XP on this machine about three weeks ago. I have not
touched gpedit.

When I log on as another admin, local or domain admin, I can view the logs
fine.

I deleted my profile and had XP recreate it for me. Still denied.

I am able to view the security event log, although there are no security
events being tracked.

I logged on to a W2K Server via terminal services under my same account and
tried to remotely view the logs - still denied. Logging on as another
domain admin is fine.

I cleared the event logs while logged on as another administrator, but that
did not help.

I verified that I am being authenticated by the DC and am not being logged
on with cached credentials.

Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can try or check? For now, I'm
just logging in to a TS session as another domain admin to view my logs.

Thank you,

Ray at home
