Report event not working from win7 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:03:46 GMT

Hi.. i am trying log events from windows 7 to windows 2003/2008. It was working earlier but from few days, i could not see any log messages from windows 7 machines. when i checked the code, it says Reportevent (vb6) is failing.

Can you tell me what are the permissions required to updated Windows 2003/2008 event log from Windows 7?

Okay thanks. I havent checked in a few days because this is bookmarked in the school computer I use, but that makes sense now. :)

Hi Steven, it means that the two most recent passwords are stored in the password history. By resetting the password twice you effectively clear any old passwords from the history, so there is no way another domain controller will replicate with this one using an old password.

I am going to be honest here. This helped me understand what krbttgt is, however that last sentence confused me. What does the writer here mean by saying, "the password history is two."? Is the password history, contained in two locations, is a variable of two, or is literally two different files that are both actively used by the system, or is it something else entirely?

re: Schema - What is the Best Practise for Updating ?

Great post! Thanks.

Just in case you want to check if replication completed on all DCs after schema update you can easily use Powershell:

The "reserved" character mentioned above is "\0A", which is the line feed character (escaped by the \ character and represented in hexadecimal). If the value of Name (the RDN of the object) is output in a script, this results in the original RDN on one line, followed by CNF:<GUID> on the next line.

You state that the built-in "Event Log Reader" group allows read access to ALL event logs, however it doesn't allow a regular use to remotely access system/application event logs on other computers.

doesn't work for security — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 00:40:15 GMT

this doesn't seem to work for security log if the user is running at batch or as a service. i can take the same permissionset that works for reading SYSTEM and set it for SECURITY and yet it still will get an access denied error unless i add the user to localadmin.
