Hi Michael, Sorry for not being clear. I need a Security Group. I did it now.
I created a security group and added the SPN of the Group in registry to give read permissions on eventlogs.. Plan is to move the user groups to SecurityGroup for access. If there is a better way., please let me know.. ~Srinivas On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 7:46 AM, Michael B. Smith < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm completely confused. > > > > Do you want a service?
