I am studying for the 680 exam and one thing included is event subscriptions. Part of the configuration includes setting up the computer account as a member of the Event Log Reader group in Users and Groups, but when I go to do that there is no option to add a computer. There is no object type where I can check the box to add a computer. These are standalone computers, no servers, no AD. My question is, do you have to have AD to be able to setup a computer account? Or is there some way to add the computer object? Thanks. Patti

Hi, You do not need to set up a computer account for Event Subscription. Please add an account with administrator privileges to the Event Log Readers group on each source computer, Then you must specify this account in the Configure Advanced Subscription Settings dialog when creating a subscription on the collector computer. I would like to share the following article with you.
