I have a Windows 2003 Server that in the event viewer, the security log is
not logging anything. I have looked in the ost common places, i have no
filters on, and it is set to display everything.

Any ideas.
Thanks
 
Check your services and make sure it and related services have started.

Trojans and back doors can install programs that delete the entries, or in
one case that I had happen to me, it actually changed the registry entry for
COM+ EventSystem to another file name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventSystem\Parameters
was set to nettapi.dll instead of es.dll

I would definitely run an antivirus scan! If your AV has been disabled, it
is a sure sign of trouble from a virus. Also, may times they change your
hosts file to redirect all the major AV addresses to a bogus or non relevant
IP.
 
I checked that stuff and everything is OK. What services need to be riunning
for the event veiwer to work. The system and application log work fine.

Thanks
