  Error: Read from remote computer Reply Contact Hello All, I was trying to read data from remote computer but I get an error "Access denied". Both 2 machine logged on with the same account and that account belongs to Administrator group. I create new windows application to query windows event log, like this: "SELECT * FROM \\mycomputer\Application" and it works fine, but now, I create a new Windows Service and also read the log like the same query, but I get an error "Access denied". I also try to use LogParser and works very good. Any ideas for me ? Thanks

  Re: Error: Read from remote computer Reply Contact Sounds more like a DCOM error than a permissions error.  I would enable auditing 'object' access, run filemon and regmon while reproducing the error.  This could provide a idea where the permission is being blocked.  Normally when services run, they run with a limited account.  If they are running as SYSTEM, I'm not sure these creds would transfer to a remote machine.  You might need to setup a domain account.
