NICE! &nbsp;Thanks for that! &nbsp;I searched and search but didn't stumble on this post for some reason. &nbsp;That should work for me...

I have a request from some users regarding the Event Logs on a Windows Server 2003 box. &nbsp;They'd like to be able to view the Event Logs and save them off to their machine for archival purposes. &nbsp;Unfortunately, I'm yet to figure out how this can be done with the users being granted local administrative rights on the server.<br />
<br />
What do I need to configure to make this happen? &nbsp;Is it even possible?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

How do I configure my Event Logs so non-Administrators can read them and save them off?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
