Hello Allen,
Thank you for your post.
My name is Robbin Meng, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this
issue!
Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:
Usually you receive "Security Log is Full" error when you log onto SBS 2003
SP1 server. Recently, it generates "Access is denied" after logging on SBS
2003 computer and trying to save the Security log file, although you are
using Administrator account.
If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.
This issue may occur if there is any wrong group policy settings on the SBS
server. Please try:
Step 1: Check the Group Policy settings for "Restrict guest access to
application log"
You receive an "Access is denied" error message when you try to access an
event log on a Windows Server 2003-based computer or on a Windows
2000-based computer

Step 2: Delete old event log files in Safe Mode
Please go into Safe Mode (Restart computer, press the F8 key when the boot
menu pops up, select [Safe Mode], and boot up)
Then and go to C:\windows\system32\config folder to find SceEvent.evt file
and delete it.( please bakup it before remove)
If you cannot delete it, please open Event Viewer to try to save it again.
Does the Access Denied error still occur now in Safe Mode?
Last but not least, if you have any anti-virus or anti-spam installed on
the SBS server, please temporarily disable all of them.
If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:
