event viewer

[ms]

Does anyone have any clue as to why I would be getting an access denied
message when I attempt to manage another computer with a domain admin user
on the network and then go into the event viewer? I can connect and see the
services, etc. but I am not able to open event viewer.

I get "unable to connect to the computer "computername". The error was:
access is denied

operating system is windows xp sp1

Give this a shot:

Open Regedit or Regedt32
Navigate to
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServer\Winreg
Check to see if the Local System has read permissions
Check subfolders
Check to see if Local System has read permissions

If the Local System is missing or does not have read permissions give it read
permissions

Why even bother with regedt32 in XP?

Regedt32.exe
[[In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, Regedt32.exe is a small program
that just runs Regedit.exe.]]

If your response was from >>>

I submitted a comment to MS about their reference to using Regedt32.exe in
that article. ;-)

Hope this helps. Let us know.
