A user of Event Viewer, User Manager, or Server Manager may have
sufficient access privileges to use these tools and to set them to low
speed network mode or another mode, but the tool returns to its
default mode the next time it is used.
CAUSE
A cache is kept to determine if Event Viewer, User Manager or Server
Manager should initially come up in low speed network (also called
Remote Access Services, or RAS) mode. The cache is kept per computer
(versus per user) in the LOCAL_MACHINE\... \Shared Parameters area of
the registry that, by default, can be changed only by administrators.
Administrators and Power Users (on the local computer) have sufficient
access to use these keys, but there is no necessary connection between
a user's permissions on the local computer and on the target computer.
WORKAROUND
Reset the mode of the tool and continue.
This situation does not arise very often because most users who
administer nodes on the network also have Administrator access to
their own computer.
