Stefan Bodewig resolved LOG4NET-310.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Test passes now (by using winlogon as EventSource) and error handling and
documentation have been improved.
> EventLogAppender's ActivateOptions throws SecurityException on Vista/Win2k3
> and later when not run as administrator
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4NET-310
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-310
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2.10
> Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
> Fix For: 1.2.11
>
>
> ActivateOptions uses EventLog.SourceExists which throws an exception of the
> source hasn't been found in any of the logs the user was allowed to read and
> there are others (in particular "Security") that the user is not allowed to
> access.
> This is the reason of one of the unit test errors I reported in LOG4NET-301
> Even if the code catches the exception and assumes the source doesn't exist
> this won't help as EventLog.CreateEventSource must not be called without
> administrator privileges either.
