Talk:Windows Security Log

Winzapper
I tried to run Winzapper on Server 2003 and it didn't work – it just flashed open and closed immediately. Does anyone know for sure whether it works on Server 2003? Thanks, Captain Zyrain 23:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Clearlogs
I know that when you clear the log in Event Viewer, you end up with a single log entry – the one recording the clearing of the log. What if you use clearlogs? Does that give you a completely clear log? Captain Zyrain 08:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD comments as a reference to an assertion about admissability in court?
That last section probably needs deletion. It's self referential and we are not a reliable source. I'll delete it myself shortly barring consensus not to do so. ++Lar: t/c 19:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there another reliable source we can use? Captain Zyrain 19:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No idea if there is a reliable source or not but the current section is not based on a reliable source. The say so of a user, on a talk page of some sort, however well respected the user is, is not a reliable source in an article. It needs to come out. If at some later date a reliable source can be found, then reinsert the material. I see you have revised this and added a new source, my suggestion is just to remove the first part of the para that refers to Crockspot's quote. ++Lar: t/c 01:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Removed Winzapper section
This section was entirely inappropriate for this article, so I've removed it completely. Sorry to whoever wrote it, but an article about an operating system technology is definitely NOT the place to write extensively about third-party software. Start a separate article on Winzapper if it's notable enough for Wikipedia. -/- Warren 05:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Other methods?
Are there are any other methods by which login activity is tracked on servers besides the security log? Captain Zyrain 15:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Localsecuritysettings.JPG
Image:Localsecuritysettings.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
