Windows NT Log File Viewer unavailable

  • Hi all,

    Is there any documentation anywhere on what security has to be set up for the Windows NT Log File viewer?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • I think you need to admin permissions and if the user is running SQL Server Express you have to give the user the permissions or you have to be ready to increase their log file because Express fills it up and will not create user instance if you don't increase the size of the log file.

  • It is the enterprise edition. Do I need admin perissions on specific folders? I am sa on sql server already.

  • That is correct you need admin permission to all the drives SQL Server is installed because you may not able to perform some tasks and troubleshoot issues that will require going to the SQL Server folder, if you are running SSRS that must include the C drive.

    Kind regards,
