Error Reading the Security Log

[Tom]

I am getting this error when I try and read the events in the Security log.

A required privilege is not held by the client!

My web site is set up as Integrated Authentication and in my web.config I
have the following
<identity impersonate="tr ue" />

Since I am an Admin on my box and on the domain, why can't ASP.NET C# code
read my security log?

Here is my code:

EventLog aLog = new EventLog();
aLog.Entries;
string sLogName = DDLEventLog.Sel ectedItem.Value .ToString();
aLog.Log = sLogName;
aLog.MachineNam e = Environment.Mac hineName;
LogGrid.DataSou rce = aLog.Entries;
* LogGrid.DataBin d();

* is where the error occurs when I try and bind the results from the log to
a grid.
Thanks

Tom

Make sure you are effectively impersonating an Administrator.

Willy:

Can you elaborate on your comment?

What exactly do you mean when you say "Make sure you are effectively
impersonating an Administrator"?

I'm not sure what to change?

Also, I am running under windows 2000 Server.

Did you check the current principal's identity name?

WindowsPrincipa l wp = new WindowsPrincipa l(WindowsIdenti ty.GetCurrent() );
String username = wp.Identity.Nam e;

What happens if you run your code (part of) as administrator from a console
application?
