[python-win32] WMI Security Access?

[Tim Golden]

[Jan Van Uytven (Wyvern)]
| I'm trying to use wmi to 'catch' events as they are being sent to the
| event log.
| 
| >>> import wmi
| >>> c=wmi.WMI()
| >>> event_watcher=c.watch_for
| (notification_type="Creation",wmi_class="Win32_NTLogEvent")

I seem to remember (and WMI security is often 
a messy business) that you need to acquire the 
Security privilege before interrogating event
logs -- at least on some systems. Have a look 
at this example:
