I am currently migrating my custom .net apps from win2k3r2 platform. I am unable to see eventlog messages for SuccessAudit and Failures messages coming out from my custom .net Applications??? It shows up on the classic event log mmc on the Windows2008 Server without the source info..whereas for the new Event Log MMC it just doesn't show up at all. Info/Warning/Error comes out fine...but SuccessAudit and Failures dont show up How can I fix it? TIASV

You need to review the local security policy / Local Policy / Audit Policy on your old server and on the new server. Then configure the same. reboot the server to reapply the policy or run "gpupdate /force" to apply (if the command is still there on Windows 2008).If you are auditing Object Access (files and folders) you need to review the old folder(s) Properties / Sercurity tab / Advance button / Auditing tab for the old Audity Policy and reapply to the new server.

Hi vai2000,Thank you for posting in windows server forumsYour application should be able towrite information to the application log and not to the system log your custom.NET applicaitonshould use .NET framework which provides a class for handling the event log. This is the EventLog class, found in System.Diagnostics.As we do not discuss program related queries in this forum i would suggest you to post your query in the below link .http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/netdevelopment

Its not a question of .net coz my .net apps works super on Windows 2003 R2, its the issue of Win2008 where my audit messages aren't showing up on the Application Event Log. TIASV
