Overview

This article provides useful information related to configuring permissions on the Windows Event Log.

Information

To configure permissions on the Windows Event Log on each computer or using Group Policy in Windows Server 2003, set event log security locally or by using Group Policy.

This may be required if you want to limit access to the Windows Event Logs to specific users, specifically the administrators. You may also need to configure these permissions to allow GFI Events Manager to retrieve the events from the remote computers.
