Windows Event Viewer: Security Log Full Permafix

Security Log

"The Security log is full and can only be cleared by an administrator."

Familiar, huh?

Up until now, people in my network have seen this message, but since they are local admins, Windows still allows them to login.

On our manufacturing floor, however, the users are not local administrators and are therefore unable to login once the security log is full.  For the past couple days I have been racking my brain over this one computer whose log was filling up every day!!

Hit the jump to see the fix...

Welcome to IT Access Point

System Administrator?  Network Administrator?  IT Administrator?  CIO?  IT Intern?  Resident IT Guru????

You've come to the right place.  IT Access Point is written by professionals just like you, for professionals just like you.

I have found that not only do us "IT Types" share a profession, but we also share similar hobbies.  Not only will you read tech demos and reviews and event coverage throughout the week, but in the Weekend Detour, you are likely to read about just about anything, from the latest console game to car show coverage.

So sit back, relax & let us do the talkin'.
