Hello,

I noticed that the security event log is not registering any events on my Windows 2000 server. All other event logs (application, dns ...) work. I tried saving the current log (only a single event), then cleared it, still nothing. I event tried modifying the registry to deactive the event viewer, reboot server, delete secevent.evt, change the registry again and reboot but still nothing. I wanted to view RDP logons and activated Event logons/logoffs from GP but nothing registers in the security log. THe only thing that registers is if I do a clear event.
