Access denied while reading Security log

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm trying to access the security log on a remote computer. I have to code it in C++. My code works for the application log, but not for security log. I know there are already several posts to this problem but i can find the clue.

The remote user is member of the administrators group and additionally has the "Manage audit and Security Log" user right. It seems that the right is not given. The security log entry only lists: "SeChangeNotifyPrivilege, SeBackupPrivilege, SeRestorePrivilege, SeDebugPrivilege"

How do i enable this privilege in ConnectServer or CoSetProxyBlanket?

What is the C++ COM/WMI equivalent to WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,authenticationLevel=PktPrivacy,(security)}?

Note, that i can't use a local process token, i have to logon using a different user name on the remote system.

Thanks
