Solution

Please make sure that you actually need to use eConnect option or not. This option is selected on the logon screen and you typically do not need to use eConnect unless you are using GP MEM, AA or AIT or Project Accounting modules.


If you are indeed instructed to use eConnect, then follow the steps to resolve this issue. Find the user who is running the GP eConnect service by going to Administrative tools -> Services. Please see screen below




  1. Open the Registry Editor:
    1. Select Start then Run
    2. Enter regedt32 or regedit

  2. Navigate/expand to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog

  3. Right click on this entry and select Permissions

  4. Give all permissions to user running GP eConnect service (user marked in the screen above) AND the user logged in to the windows
  5. Repeat on SQL server for the corresponding account on SQL server that is running the eConnect Service
  6. Restart eConnect service on client and server
  7. Repeat for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security
