Security log full

[mprhoades]

The security log on my DC filled up and shut down the server. I have
since logged on and cleared the log. But, the user still cannot access
the folders on the server. They now get an error message that they do
not have priviledge to access the server.

Any help would be appreciated.

The security log on this system is full. Only administrators can log on to
fix the problem.

Actually the problem isn't that the server shut down. Our security
settings require that to happen. Ideally after I clear the logs
everything is ok; however, it is now working properly.

Since this happened users have not been able to access the server over
the network. This server is where they keep their data.
