Having now installed Windows Server 2008, there are several 'annoyances' that I have found, one which appears to be answered above am I correct?

In previous versions, you can easily view the event log of another PC/Server (or Groups/Users etc..) by Managing the Server then right-clicking the top level and choosing 'connect to another computer' this facility appears to have gone? I've only spent a couple of hours with it, but this is a real annoyance if it has been removed? Is there another way of doing this?

Good question Phil, there are actually a couple of ways to do it. One alternative is not to change, there is still the admin tools group and the event viewer inside works the same way, right click and connect. However, the new and improved way is via subscriptions, in the server manager event log. What makes those nice is that you can subscribe to several computers and just the specific logs you want to look at. Take a look at the help for more info on subscriptions.
