i appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
this is what i am trying to do:
the scripts goes to a remote server and backs up the event logs to an evt file.
code:
backupeventlog('\\server1\Application', '\\server1\evtlogs\app.evt')
backupeventlog('\\server2\Application', '\\server2\evtlogs\app.evt')
i am getting a Access Denied error on the NT servers but the script runs without problem on W2k servers.
we have a NT network (NT4.0 SP6a PDC and BDC) with a mix of Nt4(Sp6a) & W2k(sp2) member servers
the script executes on a W2k server, using kix 4.02, logged in with my user account, Domain Admin access.
\\sever\evtlog share is given Everyone access.
i tried running the script on a NT server(backing up a remote servers Event Log) but the results are the same.
am i missing something simple? i feel like i am but just can't point at it. any help is appreciates.
Thanks
Felix

Did you try it on just one NT server or multiple servers? Also, are you running it locally on the NT machine or remotely?...
According to Microsoft:
"The backup file CANNOT be written to a remote server because this function is implemented by a service running in the LocalSystem account, which does not have credentials on the remote machine. However it is possible to write the file to a remote machine using a null session."
The BackupEventlog function comes from the win32 api in the advapi32.dll. I found this info on MSDN. I'm not really sure if there is a good way to get around it.

heres the code guys, feel free to take it apart. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) you might want to know that i am a newbie at scripting ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)
servers.txt reference a list of server names
i.e.
server1
server2
server3
and so forth...
code:
$date = split(@date,"/")
$appname = $date[0] + $date[1] + $date[2] + "app.evt"
$secname = $date[0] + $date[1] + $date[2] + "sec.evt"
$sysname = $date[0] + $date[1] + $date[2] + "sys.evt"
open(1, "c:\scripts\servers.txt",2) ;change this txt file when adding servers
$server = readline(1)
while @error = 0
if $server
gosub "EventLog"
endif
$server = readline(1)
loop
exit
:EventLog
backupeventlog('\\' + $server + '\Application', '\\' + $server + '\evtlogs$\' + $appname)
? "app " @serror
backupeventlog('\\' + $server + '\Security', '\\' + $server + '\evtlogs$\' + $secname)
? "sec " @serror
backupeventlog('\\' + $server + '\System', '\\' + $server + '\evtlogs$\' + $sysname)
? "sys " @serror
and here is what it looks on the cmd prompt
app Access is denied.5
sec Access is denied.5
sys Access is denied.5
app Access is denied.5
sec Access is denied.5
sys Access is denied.5
app Access is denied.5
sec Access is denied.5
sys Access is denied.0
app The operation completed successfully.0
sec The operation completed successfully.0
sys The operation completed successfully.0
app The operation completed successfully.0
sec The operation completed successfully.0
sys The operation completed successfully.0
app The operation completed successfully.0
sec The operation completed successfully.0
sys The operation completed successfully.
Please advise.
