View an ADAM event log

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

To view an ADAM event log

  1. Open Event Viewer.

  2. In the console tree, click the ADAM log that you want to view.

  3. In the details pane, view the list of individual events.

  4. If you want to see more details about a specific event, in the details pane, double-click the event.

Notes

  • To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer.

  • To refresh the view in Event Viewer, on the Action menu, click Refresh. When you open a log, Event Viewer displays the current information for the log. While you view the log, the display is not updated unless you refresh the Event Viewer window. If you switch to another log and then return to the first log, the display for the first log is automatically refreshed. When you refresh the view of an event log, only the view is updated; no changes are made to the log. The Refresh command is not available for archived logs, because those files can no longer be updated.

  • To enable auditing for an ADAM instance running under a service account other than the Network Service account, you must grant the Generate security audits right to the ADAM service account.
