if I connect to a windows xp from eventvwr (connect to another computer)
there is a warning "access denied", but I am a adminstrator from the remote
xp machine, and I can access there groups und users?

Is this a bug?

Hello,

You should be able to access the event log on your Windows XP computer
from your Windows Vista computer if you have authenticated with the
Windows XP computer as an administrator on that machine.

If you have UAC enabled and you are using an administrator account, you
will need to have authenticated to the Windows XP computer from an
elevated program (one that prompts "Windows needs your permission to
continue").

other) but not to the eventlog

Yeah, using "manage another computer" won't ask you for credentials
automatically, for whatever reason.

I can manage my XP computers from my Vista machine just fine, including
the event logs, but I have to authenticate with the XP computer before hand.

Here's what I do:

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- When cmd appears under programs, right-click, click run as administrator
- Type:

net use \\XPCOMPUTER\ipc$ /user:USERNAME

Where XPCOMPUTER is the computer name of the XP computer, and USERNAME
is the name of my admin account on the XP computer.

It then asks me for my password, and I type it in.

Then, I can go to computer manager, open up that XP computer, and manage it.
