NT Event Log Access

[LeeSalter]

Hi there,

I need to backup and clear the Event Logs on numerous NT4 servers.

I have called the BackupEventLog API in my script, but it fails with an ACCESS_DENIED error.

I am a member of Domain Admins on all servers. Is there any way to programmatically get around this???

Could you show us the code for this? I have seen alot of examples of this work without problems.

It's ok...I've sussed out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to write from a remote server log to a file on another remote server....apparently this cannot be done.

I made a little workaround by first archiving the log locally and then simply doing a .copy to stick it where I wanted it to go.

Thanks anyway.
