Guest Jim Knowles Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I have a developer that wants to troubleshoot and issue we are having and needs to be able to see the application log on our Windows 2003 server. Is there an easy way I can grant him this access. I'm currently saving the application log and placing it in a shared folder but that's getting old and wasting a lot of our time. Thanks.

You coul use the Task Scheduler to run eventquery.vbs once every ten minutes, saving the result in a shared folder. If you schedule the task under an admin account then you won't have any access problems. Type cscript eventquery.vbs /? at the Command Prompt to see the available switches.
Guest Jim Knowles Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Re: Access to Application log for Non System Admin That's an option, but I'd prefer to allow him to look directly at the application. With Windows 2000, there was a registry hack that could be completed and the user or group identified could connect to the logs and view them. I was hoping that Windows 2003 would provide another opiton.
