Remarks

Note

In Windows Vista and later, users do not have permission to access the security log. If you are running Windows Vista or later as a user, you will get a SecurityException when you attempt to access the display name for an event in the security log.

In Windows Vista and later, User Account Control (UAC) determines the privileges of a user. If you are a member of the Built-in Administrators group, you are assigned two run-time access tokens: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. By default, you are in the standard user role. To execute the code that accesses the security log, you must first elevate your privileges from standard user to administrator. You can do this when you start an application by right-clicking the application icon and indicating that you want to run as an administrator.
