Yeah, my bad... actually the security log was so large the script was timing out. I did a little refining and all is well. Stan

Try select * from \\server\security assuming your account has permissions on the remote box.

This question has been asked before but not answered. I am an admin and would like to query the security log on our server from my workstation. Assuming the simplest

"SELECT * FROM SERVER,Security"

"SELECT * FROM \\Server\c$\windows\system32\config\SecEvents.evt"

I will get an error that the file is being used by another process. I saw the last person who asked this question just gave up, assuming it couldn't be done. So, is that true?

TIA, stan
