### NT Event Logs

If you are running on a Windows NT machine, Seagate Crystal Reports gives you the ability to generate reports based on the NT Event Log.

###### To report on an NT Event Log

1. On the Standard toolbar, click `New`.

   The Seagate Crystal Report Gallery appears.

2. Click `As a Blank Report` and then `OK`.
3. In the Data Explorer dialog box, expand the `More Data Sources` tree and double-click `Find Database File`.
4. Double-click either `NT Archived Event Log` or `NT Current Event Log`.
   - Choose NT Archived Event Log to report on a previously archived NT Event Log. If you choose this option the Select Archived NT Event Log dialog box appears, allowing you to navigate to the file you want to report on.
   - Choose NT Current Event Log to report on the most recent NT Event Log.
5. If you chose to report on the `NT Current Event Log` the Select Current Event Log dialog box appears:

6. The computer referenced in the `Computer(s)` box is the computer on which the sample report is based. To change the computer, expand the `Microsoft Windows Network` tree.

   The directory structure expands to display the network group to which your computer is connected.

7. Expand the network group to display individual machines connected to the group.
8. Select the NT machine for which you would like to create an NT Event Log Report.

   When you select a machine, that name appears in the Computer(s) box.

   Three tables become available on the Data Explorer dialog box:

   - Application
   - Security
   - System.

   Use these tables to create your report based on the NT Current Event Log.

Note:

- In order to report on the Security table, you need to have the User Right of "Manage auditing and security log" added to your Policy in NT.
- The data that you will see is the same data that is seen from the NT Event Viewer.
