I've got a system running Windows Enterprise Server 2003 x64 Edition
that's configured as a DC. I'm logged in as a user who's in the Domain
Admins group.

When I open the event viewer, I can view the Security log, but not the
Application or System log. Windows help says that this happens when a
user is in both the Administrators group and the Guests group and to
open Local Users and Groups and remove the user from the Guests
group. I tried this, but sisnce the box is a domain controller, there
is no Local Users and Groups.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I get a pop up dialog box saying "Unable to complete the operation on
"System". Access is denied".
