Non-admin user writing to the Event Log?
-
using( System.Diagnostics.EventLog evtLog = new System.Diagnostics.EventLog( ) ) { evtLog.Source = "MyAppName"; evtLog.WriteEntry( "SomeMessage" ); }Any reason why this would not work when the current user isn't an Administrator? If this is the case, what is the correct way to enable event logging for non-admins? Regards, Daníel
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beierhund das oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

Yup. The sys admins have locked down your event log - you need to get them to open the privileges on them.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

You can try using impersonation. Ask your administrator to help you with an account that is privileged to write to EventLog.
