I'm not mistaken, authenticated users can access the logs locally but not
remotely on w2k3 servers. the security log can only be accessed by admins,
either locally or remotely.

on w2k servers the event logs can be read by all users, except for the
security log

Just went through a security audit and was told by the auditors that we
needed to restrict Anonymous and EVERYONE from being able to access the
server event logs. How is this done? I am stummped because it appears to
me
that the security is correct. This is on Windows 2003 Servers.

Thanks,

Mike
