RE: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error?
Can you delete the files from the Recovery Console? Else boot to a DOS disk if you're using FAT32 or sysinternal's R/W NTFS driver. One of the things I like to do (when I have the time) is install a fresh copy of NT/2000 on a small partition, just in case I don't have R/W NTFS support somewhere else. It's saved my butt many times -Original Message- From: Better Net Office [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 10:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error? Yes you can remove everything in that dir., take the event log service offline remove the files then restart it. Nope, can't remove files in the event dir, as says file in use. can't stop event service as it doesn't have a stop button. Can't change settings on event viewer as when you click on disable, the hourglass just sits there, forever and doesn't do anything.

RE: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error?
If a reboot doesn't fix you, you could try the MS procedure for removing corrupt event log viewer files. I know you're not getting this error, but it might work. I've used this before myself http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q172/1/56.asp Also, make sure to first check your local policy (Default domain controllers/Default domain policy in AD) and make sure that administrators, domain admins, or whatever other god group you like, has the user right defined for manage auditing and security log. It's under computer configuration, windows settings, security settings, local policies, user rights assignments. -Bonnie -Original Message- From: Better Net Office [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 6:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error?

RE: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error?
try removing and re-adding the permissions. If that does not work, try adding everyone full control and see if you can access it, if you can access it then, tighten the permissions a little and try again, if you cant then try different accounts, then you will find what is causing the problem if its a permissions problem.
