The EventLog.WriteEntry code runs successfully under Win Server 2003, but doesn't execute with Windows Server 2008. This line generates and error:
"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security".
This can be resolved by following the below steps:
#1 Go to Start -> Run -> regedit
#2 Navigate to Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog
#3 Right click on "EventLog" key, select Permissions, and add the [Network Service] account with read/write permissions.
Note: Microsoft seems to have replaced the ASPNET account with the "Network Service" account.
#4 Restart the IIS (start -> Run -> iisreset)
#5 Now Go to Start -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Groups
Double click the [Administrator] Group -> Add the "Network Service" account.
Go back and try to refresh your web page again.
There you Go.....
Hope this saves some time for the others.
