Hi huys; How can I assign the write permission to a service account in the Application Event Log (The OS in a Windows Server 2003 x64-bits)? The service account is not an Local Admin. Thanks a lot; BanierBanier Garca.

Any running application can log anything, only not in the security's tab. Please see; http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/windows/desktop/aa363679(v=vs.85).aspx & http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/windows/desktop/aa363678(v=vs.85).aspx For any further question, please ask in the dev/api's forum please For reference; HANDLE RegisterEventSource( _In_ LPCTSTR lpUNCServerName, _In_ LPCTSTR lpSourceName ); Parameters lpUNCServerName [in] The Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name of the remote server on which this operation is to be performed. If this parameter is NULL, the local computer is used. lpSourceName [in] The name of the event source whose handle is to be retrieved. The source name must be a subkey of a log under the Eventlog registry key. Note that the Security log is for system use only. Note This string must not contain characters prohibited in XML Attributes, with the exception of XML Escape sequences such as &lt &gl. Return value If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the event log. If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. The function returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED if lpSourceName specifies the Security event log. Remarks If the source name cannot be found, the event logging service uses the Application log. Although events will be reported , the events will not include descriptions because there are no message and category message files for looking up descriptions related to the event identifiers.
