problem to open an eventviewer remotely with different credentials using rdp session
problem to open an eventviewer remotely with different credentials using rdp session
Hi,
I'm using a normal RDP session to login to a windows 2008 server with different credentials than mine. This works well.
If I use the built in Event Viewer to access the event viewer on the target machine I end up with an event viewer on my local machine and as the local user.
doing this:
Start Event Viewer.
Click the root node, for example Event Viewer (Local) , in the console tree.
On the Action menu, click Connect to Another Computer .
In the Another computer box, type the name or IP address of the remote computer.
Select Connect as another user , click Set User , enter the User name and Password , end then click OK .
Click OK .
[/ol] works fine - here I'm able to manage event logs on the remote computer.
Any ideas how to access the event logs on the remote computer using the Event viewer button?
Thanks
-Stefan
P.S.
I already read the manuals/tips/hints like this:
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?tipsandtricks_runas_manualrunas.htm
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/tipsandtricks_runas_builtinrunas.htm
maybe I missed something?
I found no example for this or similar.

Hi,
Have you tried the Remote Event in the dashboard (Remote Management)?

Hello,
As seen in the notes at the bottom of http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/tipsandtricks_runas_builtinrunas.htm , the NETONLY option of the RUNAS command is not supported.
If the credentials cannot be authenticated on your workstation, then you have to use the manual runas.
its going to a mix of
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?tipsandtricks_runas_manualrunas.htm
and
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/tipsandtricks_mmc.htm
your command line will look like
runas /netonly /user:windjammer\david "mmc eventvwr.msc /computer:vwindsrv-dvls"
test this first in an elevated command prompt to prove that it works. Sadly, there is not way to send the password as a parameter, but we could try with a typing macro.
In RDM, we would replace the computer name by the $HOST$ variable.
Best regards.

Great,
we are on the right track. Remote Event is the half part of that what I want.
Is it possible to get more information for an event in the result list (like in the real event viewer)?

Hi,
Yes this could be possible. I will assign this to Olivier.

Hi Maurice,
trying your suggested command lead me to this error
“Error(740): The requested operation requires elevation.”
you can see it in the attached picture (sorry it is in Norwegian).
note: the user no\Administrator has correct right to run the eventviewer (remotely on the machine (rdm session) it works)
Regards
-Stefan
hmm, without /netonly it works.
I will do some more tests tomorrow.

Hello,
Netonly does require the process to run with elevated privileges. In RDM this translates to using "run as administrator"
Best regards,

Hi Stefan,
I added a panel under the grid to show the information of the selected log.
It will be available in the next release.
Meanwhile, you can right click on the header of the grid then select "Column Chooser" and double click on the type of information you want to add in the grid.
Best regards,
Olivier Désalliers
Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the implementation.
I'm looking forward to test/use the change.
Best Regards

P.S. sorry for the double reply (at the first try I was not logged in)
