I have a brand new Dell Optiplex desktop computer running Windows XP
Professional SP1. I have noticed a strange issue happening with this
computer regarding the Security log in Event Viewer.
I had the computer joined to our domain, and was able to log on with my
domain admin account and install software and perform administrative
functions like I normally do. However, when I tried to view the security
log in Event Viewer, I received the following error message:
"Unable to complete the operation on "Security". A required priviledge is
not held by the client."
When I click OK there are no events displayed in the security log, and a red
"x" is on the icon.
This occurred even if I logged on with the local administrator account.
To troubleshoot this issue, I disjoined the computer from the domain,
rebooted the computer, and verified in Active Directory that the computer
was removed. I then logged on to the computer with the local administrator
account and checked the security log, and I was able to view the events with
no problem.
I joined the computer to the domain once again, and it went right back to
the same problems. I checked the local administrators group and the proper
group memberships (domain admins, local administrator) were there.
I have other Dell Optiplex desktops in our domain running the same setup
that do not have this problem.
Does anyone know what to check to fix this issue?
Thanks,
