Event Viewer problem

[Ohan Armoudian]

In the event viewer I can see all the Application folder full of event and
System folder full of event but there is nothing in the Security folder.
My other computer and laptop in the Security folder it's full of events
Am I missing something??? Is there a way to make it to show the Security
events.....??
Thanks for the reply in advance

A real basic answer is you need to start auditing them.
Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy
(XP pro at least)

 

[S.Sengupta]

When auditing is enabled, security events will be logged to the Security
Log.
Auditing is enabled via User Manager, printer properties, or file/folder
properties. Administrator privileges are required to view the Security
Log.

Isn't auditing a default so presumably someone or something has
turned it off?

No, it's been off by default since NT4.
