I am trying to use Event Viewer to connect to another computer and view its event logs. I have a stand-alone LAN with a mix of Dell servers running Windows Server 2003 and Dell workstations running Windows XP (64-bit). All machines are on the same subnet and have the same workgroup name. I am on an Administrator account. I can connect just fine to the Windows Server computers, but when I try to connect to a Windows XP machine, I get an "access denied" error.
I can also remote desktop just fine into both the Windows Server and Windows XP machines. DNS is not an issue, as I am trying to connect via IP address, not computer name. The firewall is turned off for all machines.
On the Windows XP machines, I have verified that the remote registry service is running. I have also checked permissions on the Local Service account in the registry under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg. Basically, I have attempted everything that I have found by googling my problem. Please help!
