• Security log. Records security events. This log keeps track of changes to
system security. For example, attempts to log on might be recorded in the
security log.
The event types in the Windows Event Viewer (Error, Warning, and
Informational) have similar meanings to those listed earlier in Table 6-1. The
Event Viewer provides two additional event types related to system security:
• Success Audit. Audited security access attempts that were successful. For
example, a user’s successful attempt to log onto the system might be logged
as a Success Audit event.
• Failure Audit. Audited security access attempts that failed. For example, if a
user tried to access a network drive and failed, the attempt might be logged
as a Failure Audit event.
Viewing Event Data from Other Systems
When you first start the Windows Event Viewer, event data for the local computer
is displayed. However, you can connect to another computer in the local network
(for example, a Peripheral Gateway) in order to examine its event data.
Note To view events for other computers, you must be logged in as an
Administrator.
To connect to another computer:
Step 1 From the Log menu of the Event Viewer, choose Select Computer.
Step 2 In the Computer field, type the computer name of the computer to view. You can
also select a Computer name from the Select Computer list.
Step 3 Click the OK button. The Event Viewer displays event data for the selected
computer.
