SYMPTOMS
The Appsec.exe tool that is included in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit is designed to prevent users from running any unauthorized programs on a terminal server. When a user tries to run an unauthorized program, the user receives a message that the program cannot be run. However, no event is logged on the terminal server that indicates the name of the unauthorized program that the user tries to run.



RESOLUTION
This hotfix modifies the Appsec.exe tool so that it logs an event in the application event log when a user tries to run an unauthorized program. The log entry contains the name of the executable file that the user tries to run.
