I am the systems administrator in a small Active Directory domain with Windows 2003 servers and Windows XP Pro/Vista Business/7 Pro clients.
The computer I use for administrative tasks runs Windows XP SP3.
While I have always been able to use the Event Viewer MMC snap-in to connect ("Connect to remote computer...") to remote Windows XP and Vista clients and view the event logs, I have discovered that I cannot do the same on remote Windows 7 machines: the error is "the network path was not found". Please note that it's not a permission problem or a general MMC problem because, for instance, I can connect to the same Windows 7 computers using the Computer Management snap-in. If I do so, I can browse through all nodes (eg. view, start and stop services on the remote machine) but if I click on "event viewer" from the same snap-in, the "network path" error comes up again. It looks like the problem is specific to Event Viewer.
I have googled quite a bit, and found no relevant knowledge.
Can you help me?
