I have created a small problem in my network with win95 clients and NT 4.0 sp6a servers. In the NT event viewer I get the entry when the users logs onto the server however, the computer name is not listed. This is only happening on one model of machine (we image each model to a standard setup). I obviously configured a setting or removed a file on the client to cause this to happen. Any ideas?

Maybe you are viewing the logs with a filter? You can filter logs by date and time, type of event, source, category, user, computer, or event ID. To revert to viewing all events, select View, All Events from the main menu. Does Event Detail list computer names? What model does this happen on?

Also you don't really say where you look. What does it list? It is supposed to list user name, domain, logon id, logon type, logon process, authenication package and workstation name. The Security log does not show entries by default. To view security data, you must set up security auditing. You can audit only if you use NTFS, FAT does not support auditing. Open User Manager for Domains, and select Policies, Audit. Select the events to audit.
