Access is Denied(5) Error when trying to access Directory Services

Navigate to Event Viewer (DC server name) > Applications and services Logs > Directory Services and verify that you have access to it.

If you get an Access is Denied(5)error (See image) , contact your Active Directory owner and ask to remove this restriction for the relevant SecurityIQ user. The access to Directory Service should be granted with EventLogReader group association.
