How do I maintain Windows 2000 Event Log ACLs?

1 New Member
I used the Configuration and Analysis Tool to configure my Windows 2000 File system. Specifically I set the ACLs for the AppEvent.evt, SecEvent.evt, and SysEvent.evt in c:\winnt\config to:
Administrators - Read & Execute
Aduitors - Full control
System - Full Control

The security gets configured but if you use the Event Viewer to clear any of these logs their ACLs get set to:
Administrators - Full Control
System - Full Control

The only way to change it back is to do it manually or by running the Configuration and Analysis Tool again. I tried using a CustomSD registry key for each Event Log but I don't think Windows 2000 supports this key.

How can I prevent this change from taking place when the logs are cleared? In the setup for the ACL I checked the box to defined the setting in the database and also the box to stop file permission inheritance from the parent directory i.e. the config directory.

I've written a Windows Service to send e-mails on events like OnStart, OnStop, OnShutDown using System.Web.Mail. It works for everything but OnShutdown. My guess is that for OnShutDown, once my send mail code is executed, other necessary Windows Services have been terminated before it can actually send the mail. I've updated my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services registry DependOnService value including SMPTSVC and...

Hi, I have an ASP.Net application written with VS.Net 2002 (Net FWK 1.0). This Web Application uses Exception Management Application Block to log Events to Windows Event Log.

Is there a standard library module in Python 2.4 (Win32) that will return directory permissions / ACLs (e.g. users, groups, and what rights they have)? Otherwise, I'm faced with sending "cacls dirName" commands via os.popen as below, and then parsing and comparing the text output. Basically, I'd like to compare what the ACLs a directory should have against what the actual ACLs are.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
