McKnife, that was it indeed. I changed the permissions as suggested by Bominthu, but it made no difference. Then I logged in as the Local Admin and saw that the problematic account had only User status. I was convinced that I had it originally set as Administrator so I'll pay extra attention with the next workstations. And indeed, changing the status worked.<br />
Sothank you both very much!

With Profile Wizard I have migrated a domain account to a local account on a Windows 7 machine. It was largely succesful except for the Event Viewer which still can only be accessed from within the original domain account. In the new local account (which contains the original events) I get an access denied message.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to grab the permissions back?<br />
<br />
On the Event Viewers setup in Services in the NEW account most options are greyed. In the old domain account I stil can do something.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
