I tried your code, as originally posted, locally and it works with the addition
of the declaration of the logger variable ("ILog logger;"). The message should
output to the "Application" log. Couple of questions:
Are you expecting it to create and log to a "EventLogAppender" log?
Have you tried running this locally and checking your local event log?
If no, have you validated that security is correctly set/configured to allow
you to write to the event log of the remote machine?

I set my config section handler to:
<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSectionHandler"
/>
</configSections>
and it gave the exact same behavior, no error messages, and nothing in the
event log.:confused:
