Hi, I want to give a set of developers access to view a Window 2003's event
viewer logs remotely using an MMC snap-in without granting them
administrator access to the server? Does anyone know how/where I grant
those specific rights?

Thanks,
Paul

If you cannot do this, you might need to write a web script
(i.e., Perl can get to the event logs) to do it.

You can of course secure the script page ANY way you
wish, but collect the log data under some elevated privilege
through various methods.

You can set a GPO for that machine to give the users "Manage auditing and
security log" permisions. It would be a domain-wide setting under Computer
Configuration>Windows Settings>Local Policies>User Rights Assignments.
