I haven't seen this addressed, so here's my problem and solution for
anyone that may be interested.
I developed an app on XP and all my logs would make it into the EventLog
without any issues. I was using a new Eventlog "mylog" and the
application name is "myapp". I knew that I had to create the log and
source because asp.net didn't have rights to create the new log.
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("myapp", "mylog");
This worked and everything was good. Then I went to Win2k3 where
registry security has been locked down, and my log messages no longer
showed up. After a day of searching I finally found

-8563-f5669706fcdc which had the solution to my problem. I needed to go
to the registry and modify the CustomSD value under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\mylog\ I had to add
(A;;0x3;;;AU) to the end since I was using a non default user to run my
asp.net app. Now my log messages are showing up under Win3k2.
Hope this helps... maybe it could be added to the FAQ?
