| Is there some "standard" or usual way of allowing non-server-admins of viewing the server logs? I don't mean the Transaction logs, I mean the logs of server error messages, etc. As it stands now, only server admins see the "SQL Server Logs" treeview item in the Enterprise Manager. |

| The current log is a text file on the server named ERRORLOG in the LOG directory.If they have access to xp_cmdshell thenexec master..xp_cmdshell 'type .....\Log\ERRORLOG'==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
