I'm attempting to write to a custom event log .... but I get the error:
Win32Exception Access Is Denied
Cannot open log for source 'blah'. You may not have write access.
I've trawled the net.. followed varions links and to date the best one I've come across is this MSKB article. It's not as clear as it could be though.
This is a 2008 R2 development server.
I've added the following REG_SZ key CustomSD with a value of
O:BAG:SYD:(A;; 0x7;;;AN)(A;; 0x7;;;SY)(A;; 0x7;;;BA)(A;; 0x7;;;SO)(A;; 0x7;;;IU)(A;; 0x7;;;SU) to registry folders "eventlog" and my sub folders.
I've also allowed everyone full access to the physical event log (.evtx file)... but all to no avail.
I think I'm giving Read Write and Clear access to the various account types (SY=System etc,).
My website which fails is running under the default IISAPPPool account.
