You have to see what identity your application is running as. It won't necessarily have permissions to write into the event log.
ASP.NET APP cannot log into the Windows event log
Question
My ASP.NET APP cannot write into the Windows event log.
I get:
{System.UnauthorizedAccessException}
[System.UnauthorizedAccessException]: {System.UnauthorizedAccessException}
HelpLink: Nothing
InnerException: Nothing
Message: "The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be
searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."
Idea?
