Access denied to remote XP Event Logs through Computer Manager

[Guest]

I have recently noticed a number of XP computers that are denying me from
accessing there event logs remotely through Computer Manager. Does anyone
know of a certain service or Group Policy that could cause this? Domain
Admins and Enterprise Admins have the right to access the computer over the
network. Some of our machines have SP2, but firewalls are disabled through
Group Policy. Could SP2 be the problem?
Thanks

Are you a netwrok administrator, and are you really supposed to have such rights on a domain. If so, contact your IT dept, or whoever grants the rights to do so.

Yes, I am the network administrator.

Looks like I have found the problem.

The computers having the problem have been upgraded from windows 2000 to XP.
The articles describes a registry permission change which is easy enough for
one machine. Is it possible to apply this change somehow through group
policy?
